Christa Bell is an artist to watch. She has a shining and magnetic stage presence, unmatched by most. CoochieMagik is hialarious and provocative, in the tradition of the best comedic performances. It’s what you wished Sunday morning church could be. You leave her show inspired and ready to weave your own magic!

-Denee McCloud, Central District Forum For Arts and Ideas, Seattle, WA

“Bell celebrates womanhood... in verse that evokes the incantations of the voodoo priestess, the heartbeat rhythms of rap and the call and response cadence of the black church....There certainly is a strong intellectual component to her poetry but it is also earthy, emotional and wickedly funny.”

-Jean Patterson, The Orlando Sentinel

“Poet Christa Bell is a true force of feminine nature -- erotic, powerful, and full of life.”

“Spellbinding... Her poetry is as theatrical as it is literary...”

-Neal Schneider, Seattle Weekly

“You have changed my life, amazing woman that you are. I now sing my name in songs. Thank you!”

-Aubrey, Ashland OR (audience)

“Christa Bell is all woman, all poetry and all magic! If you are a woman, this is a must see. If you need to remember how to love a woman, this is a must see. Now, if you are a woman who needs to learn how to love herself, Christa said she’ll see you... She is inspiration and truth”

-Faye Sekora, The Speakeasy, Anchorage AK

“You gave an AMAZING reading/performance at UCF for the Women’s Studies Program... I use your cd with my students, and you inspired me to get back to my writing. You are one fabulous woman. Thank you for all you do and are.”

-Dr. Lisa Logan, Dept. Chair, Women’s Studies, University of Central Florida.
