Millennial Harvest interweaves poetry and prose into a continuous personal narrative in the manner of Dante’s La Vita Nuova. It does so with a tremendous intellectual scope, a very wide range of references, and an original vision of the evolution of a writer’s consciousness, as well as with sharp and memorable portraits of some of the people involved – Simone Weil, Albert Einstein, Erika Mann, and William Carlos Williams, for example. Above all, Millennial Harvest is the autobiography of a beloved, highly gifted, and most unusual man. Here all of Charles Greenleaf Bell’s poetic work is brought together, thoroughly revised and in a way that allows each part to be read in relationship to the rest.
