Lit Angels - Paperback

by Margaret Saine (Author)

Lit Angels (Literature Angels Angels of Light) is a collection of poetry inspired by literature and the arts. Written in English, the volume includes several translations into German, Arabic, French and Italian. Margaret Saine writes about her work: "Lit, past participle of 'to light', and Lit, abbreviation for literature? Lit used by people who love it so much they breathlessly shorten it to one syllable? Light and Literature, the mainstays of human lives, wherever we are, whenever we are so privileged. Literature and Light are best friends." The volume is illustrated with Saine's photographs of nature and art. Margaret Saine lives in Los Angeles. After a doctorate in French from Yale, she taught Spanish at universities in California and Arizona. She writes poetry, haiku, and short stories in five languages and also translates other poets. Among her books are "Bodyscapes," "Words of Art," and five haiku chapbooks.
