A work of quiet genius. The Angel is poetry, a love affair dialectic that holds perfect peace inside the background of a haunted postapocalypse city, the decaying infrastructure and gray stone saved by images of angels, sunlight, forest, rain, and sky. The series of poems takes the reader on the journey of the Oracle, a dialogue of the sacred and the profane. Inspired by the muse, the archangel Gabriel and the angel statue The Eye by David Altmejd, the book includes a photo installation of the statue by Victor Tangermann, the photographs riveting, the statue an artistic marvel. The poet is in dialogue with a fallen angel, possibly an archangel, who as he travels the apocalypse becomes redeemed (whether the love affair is redeemed remains in question, possibly a testament to the tumultuous times). The Machine Age passing into the New Age of Imagine Peace through the magic of the Internet and the rediscovery of the tenets of the Holy Spirit, The Angel is the rediscovery of love itself.
