Have you ever stopped to consider what the angels who look in on our lives might think? Angelicus is a collection of sixty-four poems, all of which are written from the point of view of angels. By approaching from such a unique perspective, the familiar becomes draped with unfamiliarity, and the earthbound is suddenly open to heavenly insights. The poems range from interactions with ideas of angels from pop culture, to commentary on significant works of art, to expositions on scriptural stories, to scenes from everyday life. A large number of these poems have appeared in significant periodicals including Christian Century, Practical Theology (UK), Event (Canada), and The Windhover.
