Angels Everywhere: Poems

By Luci Shaw

"The word 'angel' means 'messenger' and the title poem of this book, 'Angels Everywhere,' presents the idea that what I often glimpse is a flicker of glancing light, as if a heavenly being is darting in and out of my viewing, allowing me entry into a realm beyond my physical, experiential world—brief revelatory messages from somewhere beyond. I’m hoping that as you read these poems, (more than once, aloud if possible) something like Wordsworth’s 'intimations of immortality' will enliven your own perceptions of the world as you experience it. Maybe your own fleet of angels will show up!" —Luci Shaw, from the Introduction

Angels Everywhere is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

clarity at last for what lead belief; Diamond description of those steady guarding thou sky, so divine. trying to describe visual appearance, yet only comprehension definition interference. blending along the sky like a iguana in the jungle tho air is another camo; diamond described because appearance would reflect how visible a diamond hovering in such blue sky would seem. cloud passing thru or the other way around im left with one clue an thats they are the color of clouds and sky blue too.
