  <about><![CDATA[Kendall A. Bell is a poet and editor originally from Bergen County, NJ who now lives Burlington County. He has self-published twelve chapbooks since 1997.

His poetry deals with the frustration of everyday life, teetering dangerously on sanity's edge and the hope of better days. 

His work has appeared in numerous print and online journals, most recently in &lt;i&gt;Gold Wake Press&lt;/i&gt; and forthcoming in &lt;i&gt;Zygote In My Coffee&lt;/i&gt;. He was nominated for 2009's &lt;i&gt;Best of the Net&lt;/i&gt; collection by the online journal &lt;i&gt;Drown In My Own Fears&lt;/i&gt; and 2007's &lt;i&gt;Best of the Net&lt;/i&gt; collection by the online journal &lt;i&gt;Thick With Conviction&lt;/i&gt;. His most recent chapbook is &lt;i&gt;The Forgotten&lt;/i&gt;. He has also recorded two spoken word cd's. 

He is a co-founding member of the Quick And Dirty Poets, Founder and Co-editor of the online journal &lt;i&gt;Chantarelle's Notebook&lt;/i&gt; and the publisher/editor of &lt;i&gt;Maverick Duck Press&lt;/i&gt;.

He is a music and football fanatic who likes taking pictures of strange things.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Poe, Plath, K. Hersh, N. Blackman, Sexton, Olds, Hoagland, M. Harvey, G.
