Is it better to be loved or respected? Hayes That’s the message that Hayes Bancroft gets one night. As a movie star, he’s used to getting texts from random numbers that he doesn’t recognize, but most are from other celebrities or from fans who somehow got ahold of his number. He can tell right away that this one is different, though. Maeve Maeve Verbeck is an artist. A glassblower by trade, she spends most of her time alone with her kiln and glass.

Never has the Revolutionary War been so entertaining.

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!

This collection of stories is all about sour, bloody violent love. They say love hurts. They're not wrong.
