ABOUT THE BOOK

WINGS OF AN ANGEL
POETRY COLLECTION BY ANGEL LOGAN

Thought Provoking and Picturesque Poetry Collection
Captures The Essence of Life's Journey Through a Season of Promise

Your wings are the very part of your spirit that lifts you and allows you to soar, the place within your heart that holds self-confidence, self-esteem and the hope for all dreams to come true.

"Wings of an Angel" is a poetry collection that represents the wings of Angel Logan. Each poem symbolizes aspects of her journey through life and some of the lessons that she has learned, through her own eyes and through the eyes of many others that she has encountered along the way.

Angel hopes that through her unique style of writing, she'll be able to share and to teach what she has learned, and she hopes that her poems will give her readers the inspiration needed to believe in themselves, to believe in hope and to find their own wings to fly.

MetroWest Daily News Feature Story Newspaper - Framingham, MA "Writers corner: This Angel's voice flies" By Kathy Uek / News Staff Writer Publication Date: Sunday, December 19, 2004 Angel Logan of Waltham knows something about following her dreams. She has worked in telecommunications, has been a sound engineer and has a wedding consulting business. Logan knows from experience it can be challenging reaching for one's goals. In her book, "Wings of an Angel," a collection of poetry, Logan reaches out to inspire others to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams. "The poetry represents life's lessons of my experiences, and those of others, because life is hard and people are easily discouraged," said the author. "I want people to know their dreams can always come true, and hope I can get that message across through my writing." The poem, "Field of Gold," represents the essence of her book in which she wants readers to understand they don't have to be afraid or alone. "There is always hope," said Logan. But fear plays a big part in making dreams difficult -- if not impossible -- and she addresses that demon in several of her poems, such as "Silent Tears": "Her heart breaks / each time that she witnesses / the pain of agony and loss, / But she veils her sadness / with determination / to free those imprisoned by fear." "Most people are ruled by fear, rejection or fear of success," she said. "Fear has a tendency to inhibit people from being able to pursue their dreams and what they are passionate about in life. I want the book to be able to touch each reader individually in some special way in their own life and remind them not to give up." Logan's favorite poem, "Sands of Time," speaks of overcoming another fear -- love. "It's about keeping love in your heart and being able to be free to love without any type of limitations," she said. The author knows love having been married to her husband, Dana, for seven years. Husband and wife balance each other. "With everything in life, it requires work, determination and commitment," she said. "For us, it's team work.' Other poems, such as "Golden Cloak of Light," is about women who have been in abusive relationships. "They don't realize the light inside of them," said Logan. The extroverted Logan meets the people she writes about in different situations. "Often people come and ask me for advice and at the same time, they inspire me in my poetry," said Logan. "Sometimes I sense people need help, but a lot of times people feel comfortable enough to tell me what they are feeling and what's going on in their life." "Wings of an Angel," is appropriately named. Wings represent the dreams she has for her readers and Angel is her first name. No stranger to writing, at 14 Logan began keeping a journal, and tried writing some poetry and short stories in high school. "During those days it was always about first love," said Logan. The collection of poems is not just for women. Several of the poems, such as "Sweet Pirate," represents men she has known who have known struggle. "It kind of represents a lot of single fathers," said Logan. "It's about men who just haven't had enough faith in the gifts that they have. The idea is to help them find their own path." "Wings of an Angel" was released last December, after which Logan had a big celebration -- complete with an ice sculpture of an angel -- given to her by a friend. "It was my dream to write a book and have it published. I wanted to have the ultimate celebration with people I care about to share it with me." In addition to helping goal seekers, the author also helps servicemen and women serving with the U.S. Marines in Iraq by sending supplies including phone cards, zipper freezer bags, baby wipes, nutritional and Gaterade powders, AA batteries and travel-size grooming items such as soaps and disposable razors. On her own she also sends letters or items to the troops, which she is very passionate about. "I'm not sure about (the) war," said Logan. "But it's important that we support the troops and they know they are not forgotten. If we can give them...any type of help, supplies or whatever, it's really important. We have so many freedoms." Logan sees the troops as a mirror image of what she does. "I think they are doing something they are passionate about," she said. "They are fighting to make our dreams come true, the same way I try to help others with my book." In life, Logan's goal is to continue learning so she can teach others and they, in turn, will teach others. "It's the school of life," she said. For a limited time, signed copies of "Wings of an Angel" are available at La Piazza Caffe, 286 Moody St., Waltham.

REVIEWS & AWARDS

Amazon: Listmania! - View List "Xlibris Self-published Authors Who Made It Big" "This collection was eloquent in every sense of the word. With the profound theme of human nature, fear of rejection and opening yourself to the world, Angel Logan will pull you deeper into her words and have you scrambling to turn to the next page. I loved the colorful layout of the book and the fabulous illustrations only served to enhance the already beautiful poetry. It would be difficult for me to pinpoint a favorite poem but I enjoyed Sands of Time, Tangle of Rainbows, and overall On The Edge. This poetry author had an amazing way of weaving in colors and textures that made her poems tangible. Wonderful job – I crave more of Angel Logan's poetry." Reviewed by: C.C., Lighthouse Literary Reviews 5-Beacon Review (August 29, 2006) "Wings Of An Angel is a remarkable and recommended collection of original and intimate poetry by Angel Logan. Each featured poem is paired with a full page illustration. With a message reaching out to readers and guide them through the ideals of love and insights of life, Wings Of An Angel contributes rare and intricate stylings for a unique projection of an enveloping dialect. Ivory Rose: She aimlessly ponders/through the twisted/tangles of uncertainty,/trying to unravel the mystery/of her own trepidation.//The key remains/within the hands of time's unwilling patience/to see what stands/right before her eyes.//The garden of gifts/that capture her soul,/releases the magical blossoms/of life's winding chapters,/opening the ivory rose/of serenity.//Just as each petal/holds unique and wondrous beauty,/her heart nurtures/the essence of innocence and love,/and as long as she believes/in her very own special gifts,/she'll conquer her fear/with happiness." The Poetry Shelf, Midwest Book Review 5-Star Review on Amazon.com (July 2006) "...your wings are the part of your spirit that lifts you in life and allows you to soar. It is the place within your heart where dreams come true, the place where hope and confidence live and the place where growth and awareness begin." ~ Angel Logan Angel Logan's poetry is filled with beauty, magic and wisdom. Pictures, like dreamscapes, accompany each poem to enhance the message presented and give a sense of completion to each stage in Angel Logan's personal journey. "The hidden life and love that remains locked within your prison of fear will freely release as you begin to see yourself and all of the good that is inside of you, awaiting to be shared with those you love." ~Sea of Reflection In Tangle of Rainbows, Angel describes a moonlit beach, sunlight and rainbows all in one poem. The words flow in colors and experience, creating a celebration of words themselves. In Hello, Goodbye images of clouds and rain describe the feelings in metaphors and moments. A Window & A Door is a conversation between a girl and her angel. Many of the poems reveal images of oceans, angels and flowers. Angel Logan's words capture an inner garden of truth where your soul can grow and her wisdom is evident throughout. I especially love the words in On the Edge: "Life's redemption will arise from the healing of the spirit and the choice to follow the path of virtue and light, through the portal of awareness." Rebecca Johnson, The Rebecca Review 5-Star Review on Amazon.com (June 2006) "The moment I saw "Wings of an Angel" I knew it was simply a gift, waiting to be given to someone special. The light lavender cover and art work send out a feeling of immediate relaxation. You open the cover to find even more beauty inside. Short, eclectic prose blesses the pages alongside coordinating colored art work that is quite beautiful and creative. It seems as much thought went into the art work of the book as the writing and the two combine together to give you the gift of prose that will simply calm. I see this book as a perfect gift for events when you’re not quite sure what to give. Any spiritual gatherings where perhaps your faith isn't quite the same and you don't feel comfortable giving something of their faith, yet want to still bless them with something touching. Perhaps the birth of a child, when the parent's need a special gift to let them know they're special. Mother's day, birthdays, any day that you simply want to tell someone they're special and thought of and need to take the time themselves to enjoy a little peace with the world. While it is a book of angels and finding oneself, it's not a sappy religious view that overwhelms the reader with issues and provoking thoughts. Instead it has a calming effect, much like a warm lavender filled tub does at the end of a stressful day. One of my favorite poems in the book was "At Paradise Cafe", with it's ending verse that says "Paradise Cafe is the place within your heart where music rings the song of hope..." That particular poem reminds oneself of how important YOU are, as you sit at the Paradise Cafe across from yourself, for a moment to look deep within and make discoveries. "Wings of an Angel" is a beautiful collection of poetry that gently relaxes one from the inside out and somehow within it's few pages of beauty can bring you to an inner peace each time you open it. An absolute work of beauty." Beverly Pechin, Reader Views 5-Star Review on Amazon.com (March 2006)

Commentary by CHRIS GOEBEL (Txpoet)
Introduction to Angel Logan's "Blissful Moments" and "Sands of Time"
Editor-in-Chief - Humdinger Literary E-Zine and Magazine
"This month, Humdinger presents more of Angel Logan's passionate poetry.
It is not commonly passionate; rather, Angel's poems are passionate about the reader:
they offer a gift to us in the form of hope and inspiration.
In "Blissful Moments," a character "wanders through the haze/ of her own anguish"
and she is saved by someone who "paints a portrait of courage" and "mends her broken wings."
We take this poem for granted if we don't understand its message of hope.
After reading it, one should stop and think:
yes, we can do that for each other;
we can restore one another's souls.

In "Sands of Time," again we see examples of the pain of everyday life:
"The test of trust and faith/ belongs to those nearest who can tear us apart."
Life isn't easy, but as is characteristic of Angel's poetry, happy endings are possible:

We are the sands of time,
the hourglass that keeps us true and free.
As long as we keep love in our hearts,
the sands will never run out.

The greatest value in Angel Logan's poetry is in its purpose.
How often do you read something that has as its intention
the desire to improve your outlook on life and the quality of it? 'Nuff said."
December 2005

Commentary by CHRIS GOEBEL (Txpoet)
Editor-in-Chief - Humdinger Literary E-Zine and Magazine
"Angel Logan immediately impressed me by explaining her desire
to help inspire her readers as an introduction.
Her poetry catches the reader off guard as her introduction did.
"Labyrinth of Illusion" makes me want to write a story that matches.
Ah, but I have! Now I remember a labyrinth scene in one of my novels.
The lines "I visit the place/entangled within my thoughts/where magic and mystery live"
invite the imagination to envision the maze.
Some words conjure immediate imagery and labyrinth is one such word.

Angel's "Fleeting Muse" creates creative beauty:
"You have impaled my fears of risk/with your sword of adventure ..."
The fantasy language works well with a theme that teaches
that love births bold poetic babies.
Since Angel's book of poetry is published,
she requested no changes be made to her work, so none have.
Be sure to check out her website,
where you can read more samples of her book,
a touching work of "angel"ic art."

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

"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."

"My impression of your book .....
I really enjoy it. To me a book of poetry is something
you leave on a bedside table, or at the breakfast nook - a place where
you can pick it up when you have a moment of solitude.
Your book makes that easy to do. 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 don't know if I've read the whole book and honestly it doesn't 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."

"In clear, accessible prose, Angel reaches out to the reader
about her life's journey, both light and dark.
The tone and imagery infused throughout the book
produces a stimulus to reflect on our inner self and our own journey.
Wings of an Angel is a valuable choice for expanding our consciousness.
One comes away feeling empowered and inspired."
