What happens when mysterious stories of the world's light as well as
strange, secretive and sometimes macabre tales of its darkness collide
in spectacular fashion?
Shadows & Angels is just such a haunting, distinctive and contrasting
poetry collection. It takes the reader on an exhilarating roller coaster
journey of the good, bad and ugly side of life's experiences; sometimes
hurtling back centuries in time, before rebounding into the present,
with a veritable cornucopia of subject matter.
Poetic and varied images of dark fantasy and horror are merged with
love, romance, and dazzling optimism; beguiling lyrical rhyme, hammering
on the doors of broken rules, blends inexorably with a myriad of
profound emotions; as terrifying monsters, both real and metaphorical,
battle with wise, courageous angels for supremacy in the moving
narrative.
Charming, enigmatic and complex characters in abundance are introduced
as this mesmerising book leads its readers across the winding annals of
time, continents and differing worlds.
From supernatural to beautiful and fantastical to dangerous, with
hypnotic and seductive chronicles, shocking plot twists and radiant
intensity: each poem imbibes emotive reflection told in an elegant and
powerful language that engages the reader in intelligent and stylish
prose, whilst making them imagine they are clandestine observers in each
dramatic scene.
Whether opening the gates of Hell or peppering murky dreams with
unrequited love, doomed romance or echoing periods of high-impact drama
and wondrous adventure, Shadows & Angels conveys a rare, intelligent and
perceptive insight into a world of intrigue and jeopardy, but always
encompassed in warrior resilience and precious hope.
