“Underlying is her knowledge of spells... Burns, seethes, gives birth in heat/heart to create a city of flames.”
-Joy Harjo
“Fallen Angels is Terry Hauptman’s pandemic lament. Twining pain, revelation, and hope, these poems chant their blessings and prayers in the larger chiaroscuro of Kabbalah and the Holocaust, invoking Hauptman’s tutelary spirits, Neruda, Kahlo, Celan, Max Jacob, Darwish, Coltrane. The reigning image may the “blood moon of Baal,” but Hauptman also summons agates, winter bees, and the ruby-throated hummingbird to remind us what beauty can be saved from ruin.”
