Spiritual passion about the human condition

Wrestling With The Angel showcased the verse of poet, writer and filmmaker Armando P. Ibanez when it was first published in softcover in 1997. Now in a new hardcover edition that has been expanded to include twenty-three additional poems (including a trilogy and an epilogue on the senseless attack on the World Trade Center Towers), Wrestling With The Angel will introduce a whole new readership to the poetic stylings of a polished and accomplished poet who writes with an undeniable and spiritual passion about the human condition. Mi Angel: An angel lazily floated in the sky,/his gray veil/moist with rain drops/gently fell on the thirsty grass below.//He scratched his head/and playfully tossed his silver gray hair/that captivated the sun's smile,/while teasing the trees/with his cool breath/he knelt on the hill to pray to the havens.//Spreading his wings/he kissed the earth/and gracefully flew towards the west/where he met the others/and quietly left.
