Overview

"As a poet of the imagination, Bob Heman's ""information"" pieces create microcosms in which all things are possible, where language creates everything and anything, and into which reality sometimes rears its head. His ""information"" series reflects prose poems written over a span of almost thirty years and this collection, Washing the Wings of the Angels, draws upon seventy-nine written in the past decade that figure most securely, as well as most enduringly, in Heman's consciousness. Written with no premeditation at all, these prose poems just happen, often taking on a life of their own, hopefully to take wing and surprise the reader with a startling and engaging juxtaposition of language and image."
