Tormented Angel
ISBN #1-4116-0366-4What people are saying about Tormented Angel
Read, close your eyes and visualize. The use of imagery is spectacular ~ Howard Brezner
Jennifer Stires has one of the most refreshing and lyrical voices to come along in years. In an era when seemingly anyone can be a poet, Stires rises above, making her own mark. She is definitely one to watch, and her collection Tormented Angel harkens back to such singular elegiac voices as Rita Dove, Sylvia Plath, and Ezra Pound. A bravura performance! Buy this collection, now. ~ Stacey Cochran
The stamp of a praiseworthy poem is that, it has the ability to stay with you for years to come, not simply because you were moved the first time you read it. But because it seems to work its way into your spirit, and by doing so becomes part of you. Jennifer Stires's poetry is of that quality. ~ Ameth Carmicheal
