Ten Poems about Angels
Couldn't load pickup availability
Human beings have always needed angels – figures to illuminate our lives and care for us. This anthology offers earthly and celestial angels, who appear in a nurse’s uniform or a flash of light, to lift us up towards belief, survival and love.
We meet a grandmother whose amazing love is celebrated and even a dog whose tail wagging wakes its adoring owner. Elsewhere, an angelic statue offers a moment of reflection for all who zoom past:
“I glimpsed our destination
in the rear-view glass
and in my heartbeat heard
the pulse of outspread wings.”from ‘The Angel of the North’ by Ian Parks
