Download or read book Angels Saints written by Eliot Weinberger and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeously illustrated co-publication with Christine Burgin by “one of the world’s great essayists” (The New York Times). With a guide to the illustrations by Mary Wellesley. Angels have soared through Western culture and consciousness from Biblical to contemporary times. But what do we really know about these celestial beings? Where do they come from, what are they made of, how do they communicate and perceive? The celebrated essayist Eliot Weinberger has mined and deconstructed, resurrected and distilled centuries of theology into an awe-inspiring exploration of the heavenly host. From a litany of angelic voices, Weinberger’s lyrical meditation then turns to the earthly counterparts, the saints, their lives retold in a series of vibrant and playful capsule biographies, followed by a glimpse of the afterlife. Threaded throughout Angels & Saints are the glorious illuminated grid poems by the eighteenth-century Benedictine monk Hrabanus Maurus. These astonishingly complex, proto-“concrete” poems are untangled in a lucid afterword by the medieval scholar and historian Mary Wellesley.

Book excerpt: Poetry. " Saenz' poetry has always been centered in the geography and cultures of the desert Southwest. DARK AND PERFECT ANGELS moves deeper into that territory, exploring the difficult braiding of Mexican, Indian and European traditions of his heritage, the struggles and complications of family life, the visceral nature of religious faith in Mexico 'where and saint worth praying to must be adorned with blood as well as gold,' a priest's anointing of a young man dying from gunshot, the shedding of the priest's robes and the secular quest for faith. Indeed, this is a book about faith-a cry for honesty, compassion and community as antidotes to the cold-hearted self-interest that drives so much of American culture"-Alison Hawthorne Deming.

When I open it up, each poem stands out as more than black print on a page.The colors, the print, the illustrations make each poem an artistic creation.I dont know if Ive read the whole book and honestly it doesnt matter because each day I pick it up, thumb through the pages to something that catches my eye - that poem is my thought for the day." Joanna Plummer West Roxbury, Massachusetts April 16, 2004 "I love Field of Gold, It is one of my many favorites. It reminds me of the strength of my son, who has passed. His beautiful glow, his messages that I feel.Especially when I feel his presence.He always danced around with his happiness, no matter how ill.He is with me always, as is the Field of Gold.The artwork by Marcia Davis is very moving, the colors are wonderful.Great job! I look forward to seeing and reading many more of your books." Theresa Sorrentino Burlington, Massachusetts April 25, 2004
