Engelboc
Poems by Robert DiNapoli
The poems of Engelboc scout the frontiers between language, history, memory and the evolution of spiritual sensibilities across long reaches of time. They pose more questions than answers, but that’s simply the nature of the beast.
Engelboc
Kyneton: Littlefox Press (2019)
Under its tenth-century title, the poems of Engelboc take up angels as cultural icons and as spiritual presences, reflecting their long residence in human thought and imagination. By turns ironic, playful and wondering, these poems orchestrate glancing encounters with liminal beings, once presumed to exist in fact, now sensed only on the margins of modern consciousness as it grapples with the new presences and agencies of the digital age.
