The Dark Time of Angels - Softcover
In The Dark Time of Angels, Pier Giorgio Di Cicco continues the exploration of spiritual themes that he began in the critically acclaimed The Honeymoon Wilderness, which Michael Redhill in The Globe and Mail called, 'a startling and beautiful work.' Personal yet universal, Di Cicco's poetry is marked by a lyricism that is unflinching in the face of chaos and contradiction. In a world of suffering, he identifies faith in the oddest places and joy in the smallest things. The Dark Time of Angels is a powerful testament of hope, by one of our finest writers.

About the Author:
Pier Giorgio Di Cicco was born in Arezzo, Italy, and was raised in Baltimore, Montreal, and Toronto. He currently resides in the countryside north of Toronto. He is the author of over thirteen books of poems from 1975 to 1986 including The Tough Romance, Dancing in the House Of Cards, Flying Deeper into the Century, and Virgin Science: Hunting Holistic Paradigms. He withdrew from the world of letters to join a monastery in 1986 and re-emerged in 2001 to publish Living in Paradise New and Selected Poems with Mansfield Press. He has been the Emilio Goggio Visiting Professor in Italian-Canadian Studies at the University of Toronto, and in 2004 he was named as the Poet Laureate for the City of Toronto.
Review:
"The poems of The Honeymoon Wilderness, in their attempt to reconcile the human and the divine, achieve a level of heightened clarity and intensity hitherto unseen in Di Cicco's work"
"In his new incarnation, Di Cicco has emerged as one of the few poets alive with the courage to explore mind, soul, the mundane quotidian, the spectacular revelations of nature, urban dizziness and rural silence for signs of divine transcendence. The result is awe-inspiring." (Books in Canada)
