The loss of childhood is so painful, the developmental challenges are so daunting, the vulnerability from insecurity is so great, the demands of growth are so many, the conflicts over independence are so frustrating, and the experience of growing older is so exciting. “Angels Always Near” is a refreshing journey through teenage eyes and the surprising truths that they can hold in explaining the world around them. In the Angels Always Near poetry collection, the mysteries of teenage love and ideals of beauty are filtered through a mature adult perspective, bringing readers a new interpretation. The lush, nimble language and expertly woven construction of this remarkable poetry collection has left readers continually rereading it.
