Ring the Bells is a collection of new poetry with an invitation to hear each poem as a bell chime embracing light, dark, life and love – cyclic like the seasons. In Ring the Bells, award-winning poet Colleen Keating invites readers to listen closely — to the chimes of joy, the tolls of grief, and the quiet notes of love that echo through our shared human experience. Moving through four sections — Embracing Light, Embracing Dark, Embracing Life, and Embracing Love — her poems ring with an acute awareness of the world’s beauty and its brokenness. From intimate moments in nature to the great sweep of history and current events, Keating’s lyrical voice finds hope, tenderness, and resilience in the spaces where light filters through the cracks.
