This is evident in the work of \u003cem\u003eLooking for Will\u003c\/em\u003e, where that same intimacy that graced his multiple-award-winning and critically acclaimed solo stage show, \u003cem\u003eAlms for Oblivion\u003c\/em\u003e, comes through to the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn describing \u003cem\u003eLooking for Will\u003c\/em\u003e, Bell says, “This book is a haunting – both a séance and an exorcism. It chronicles a lifelong (and poetic) journey through the ghosts of the past toward William Shakespeare.” Bell rightly calls himself “Archaeologist of the Invisible,” and the book includes a preface that admits to digging up the past, and maps the trajectory of his quest. In the body of poetic works are free verse, blank verse, original sonnets and some excerpts from his \u003cem\u003eAlms\u003c\/em\u003e, in which Bell masterfully conjures up the Bard of Avon. “Be prepared for paranormal phenomena!” says he.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ion Drive Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061452357872,"sku":"9781514345924","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781514345924_p0.jpg?v=1763724878","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781514345924","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
