Description

In its three meditations--Mood Indigo, Brilliant Corners and Air Time--INDIGO ANGEL takes its lead from different jazz modalities as these ray out into other arts, the natural world and human history. In serial prose and poetry septets that begin again and again, Jeanne Heuving explores ecologies of being, indexing the possibilities and impossibilities of becoming angel.

Reviews

"INDIGO ANGEL is a book of many: many voices, many points of departure, many ways of living and communing-all elemental and belonging to the complex, wondrous disaster that is human history, but also all in search of new forms, new contexts, new impulses for being subjects in time, new ways of understanding time. In this three-part meditation on what feels like everything, Jeanne Heuving builds intricate, playful, and deftly articulated passages, corners, moods for our unraveling. An immense reading experience."
