The Angel Dialogues

About this book

The Angel Dialogues is a book-length suite of poems about a played-out cynical poet the poet who / waits / for the feather to / drop / from the unpredictable / sky. Spiritually fatigued desperate for that next great poem he cries out to forces beyond him for help and is visited for the next year by a young iconoclastic woman angel the angel of our dreams who not incidentally reads Yeats and knew Whitman and becomes not only his Muse but his perfect capstone poem. The Angel Dialogues mines with profundity and lyric intensity a sacred vein with an imaginative finesse and sense of humor that is at once mystical and accessible.
