"This collection was eloquent in every sense of the word. With the profound theme of human nature, fear of rejection and opening yourself to the world, Angel Logan will pull you deeper into her words and have you scrambling to turn to the next page. I loved the colorful layout of the book and the fabulous illustrations only served to enhance the already beautiful poetry.
It would be difficult for me to pinpoint a favorite poem but I enjoyed Sands of Time, Tangle of Rainbows, and overall On The Edge. This poetry author had an amazing way of weaving in colors and textures that made her poems tangible.
Wonderful job – I crave more of Angel Logan's poetry."

"Wings Of An Angel is a remarkable and recommended collection of original and intimate poetry by Angel Logan. Each featured poem is paired with a full page illustration. With a message reaching out to readers and guide them through the ideals of love and insights of life, Wings Of An Angel contributes rare and intricate stylings for a unique projection of an enveloping dialect.
Ivory Rose: She aimlessly ponders/through the twisted/tangles of uncertainty,/trying to unravel the mystery/of her own trepidation.//The key remains/within the hands of time's unwilling patience/to see what stands/right before her eyes.//The garden of gifts/that capture her soul,/releases the magical blossoms/of life's winding chapters,/opening the ivory rose/of serenity.//Just as each petal/holds unique and wondrous beauty,/her heart nurtures/the essence of innocence and love,/and as long as she believes/in her very own special gifts,/she'll conquer her fear/with happiness."

"...your wings are the part of your spirit that lifts you in life and allows you to soar. It is the place within your heart where dreams come true, the place where hope and confidence live and the place where growth and awareness begin."
~ Angel Logan
Angel Logan's poetry is filled with beauty, magic and wisdom. Pictures, like dreamscapes, accompany each poem to enhance the message presented and give a sense of completion to each stage in Angel Logan's personal journey.
"The hidden life and love that remains locked within your prison of fear will freely release as you begin to see yourself and all of the good that is inside of you, awaiting to be shared with those you love."
~Sea of Reflection
In Tangle of Rainbows, Angel describes a moonlit beach, sunlight and rainbows all in one poem. The words flow in colors and experience, creating a celebration of words themselves. In Hello, Goodbye images of clouds and rain describe the feelings in metaphors and moments. A Window & A Door is a conversation between a girl and her angel.
Many of the poems reveal images of oceans, angels and flowers. Angel Logan's words capture an inner garden of truth where your soul can grow and her wisdom is evident throughout. I especially love the words in On the Edge:
"Life's redemption
will arise from the healing
of the spirit
and the choice
to follow the path
of virtue and light,
through the portal of awareness."

"The moment I saw "Wings of an Angel" I knew it was simply a gift, waiting to be given to someone special. The light lavender cover and art work send out a feeling of immediate relaxation. You open the cover to find even more beauty inside. Short, eclectic prose blesses the pages alongside coordinating colored art work that is quite beautiful and creative. It seems as much thought went into the art work of the book as the writing and the two combine together to give you the gift of prose that will simply calm.
I see this book as a perfect gift for events when you’re not quite sure what to give. Any spiritual gatherings where perhaps your faith isn't quite the same and you don't feel comfortable giving something of their faith, yet want to still bless them with something touching. Perhaps the birth of a child, when the parent's need a special gift to let them know they're special. Mother's day, birthdays, any day that you simply want to tell someone they're special and thought of and need to take the time themselves to enjoy a little peace with the world.
While it is a book of angels and finding oneself, it's not a sappy religious view that overwhelms the reader with issues and provoking thoughts. Instead it has a calming effect, much like a warm lavender filled tub does at the end of a stressful day. One of my favorite poems in the book was "At Paradise Cafe", with it's ending verse that says "Paradise Cafe is the place within your heart where music rings the song of hope..." That particular poem reminds oneself of how important YOU are, as you sit at the Paradise Cafe across from yourself, for a moment to look deep within and make discoveries.
"Wings of an Angel" is a beautiful collection of poetry that gently relaxes one from the inside out and somehow within it's few pages of beauty can bring you to an inner peace each time you open it. An absolute work of beauty."
