More about the book
The poem intricately explores the aftermath of haunting memories through eight sections, evoking a choir of departed angels and reflecting on themes of silence and historical ruin. In the seventh section, it vividly portrays a confrontation between angels, drawing on Milton's imagery as Angel Michael faces Satan. The dramatic scene captures the moment of conflict, where Michael wields divine power to strike down Satan, intertwining notions of pain and humility. The work challenges readers to grapple with the poetic spectacle and the weight of memory within its ethereal narrative.
