Lit Angels - Poetry by Margaret Saine

"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. The cover art is based on Saine's photographs and the volume is illustrated with fourteen of her photographs of nature and art.

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.”

Nizar Sartawi about this Boook

In Margaret’s poetry we listen to the inner voice of a poet who is committed to building bridges. Beyond the versatility of her topics, the vividness of her images, and the richness of her style, almost every poem she writes is an expression of this quest – building bridges of peace between people, nations, and, in a very intricate way, between the individual and his or her inner self. 
~ Nizar Sartawi, poet/translator, Amman, Jordan

Rita Stanzione about this Book

The poetics of Margaret Saine is a pleasant flight, ranging back and forth between signifiers and the signified, judiciously exploring art and nature. Each element is endowed with meaning, connecting it with human presence and human feeling. Under the poet’s gaze, a movement in time occurs that returns it to us, it tells us of other voices who are leaving traces in personal and universal history. An interesting, marvelous exchange occurs between the forms of being and their most profound abode, like a window to the sun, opening and smiling at us.
~ Rita Stanzione, poet and science instructor, Salerno, Italy

Virginia Jasmin Pasalo about this Book

​Like her photography, Saine’s poems breathe movement, shadow and light that immediately transports the reader to the experience of moving within the social fabric of her woven words.

~Virginia Jasmin Pasalo, poet and editor of “The Tree Anthology,” Manila, The Philippines
