""""Angels and Visitors"""" encompasses diverse angels revealed in their spirituality through our material world, according to the circumstances and happenstance in which they are encountered. Angels and Visitors is an inspired collection with personae coming from all walks of life set at the intersection of the ordinary and the extraordinary. This collection strives to reveal that the way of the imagination and the mystical are entwined in the movement of soul that seeks their presence. The end section relates to humans who are harbingers of news and is inspired by a series written at Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist community, in South Carolina.

Reviews for Angels and Visitors

One of the marvelous surprises in Angels and Visitors is its subdued cadence. . . . Sens quietly opens his novitiate spirit to a sacred realm where the word 'angel' is transformed. The 'Cellular Angel' 'is 'the Angel of here and there, ' he writes. That call and response, as with the Angels of Wall, Ropes, Technicolor, Rain, and others, becomes a singular and satisfying intonation. --Martha Serpas, author of Double Effect Angels and Visitors is a dazzling collection of poems that open the imagination of willing readers--who inhabit a secular age--to transcendence, to a sacramental space where spirit and matter dance. Jean-Mark's years of reading, praying, wondering, wrestling, writing, and refining have given birth to literary gems that reveal angels at work everywhere, bearing beauty and hope into the shadowlands. --Tom Neal, Notre Dame Seminary
