Synopsis

A Spring in the Desert is a collection of poetry written by Poet, Playwright Angel Wood. The pieces in this collection deal with the evolution of the soul, acknowledging that we are at once human and divine; A Spring in the Desert speaks to the struggle that this dichotomy at times presents. It is a soul to soul conversation that has waited too long to be had. The pages of A Spring in the Desert, Angel Wood's first book, are filled with the truth that we would speak if only we had the words. A Spring in the Desert is relatable, eloquent, sometimes tragic, yet enduringly triumphant. In A Spring in the Desert Angel immortalizes those that she has loved and the ones that have been lost; the many souls that she has encountered along the way. Each piece, like a snapshot, captures a moment in time.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Poet, playwright Angel Wood was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She moved into the projects of Dayton, Ohio with her family shortly thereafter. The Bella Vista Estates, where Angel called home, was a world of drug infestation and violence. It was a war zone and like any other war zone everybody leaves with scars. She had to deal with crack and heroine addiction in her own home, her family being torn apart, and her friends dying way too soon. Angel could have easily gone under with circumstance. Instead she chartered a new course, graduating high school with the highest grade point average in the city. She became the first person in her family to finish college, when she received her Bachelors Degree in Political Science and Criminal Justice from The Ohio State University. Angel started writing poetry very early in life as a way to express her thoughts and feelings. Poetry was a soul anchor for her as she navigated her way out of the projects. Even as gun shots rang outside of her bedroom window; Poetry offered an escape from the violence and confusion.  In A Spring in the Desert Angel immortalizes those that she has loved and the ones she has lost - the many souls she has encountered along the way. Each piece, like a snapshot, captures a moment in time. It speaks to the pain that we all experience in this life and the hope that allows us to rise above even the most dismal circumstances. With the pen Angel found her voice and with her words she hopes to give voice to those who have yet to find theirs.
