Bitter Angels, Pat Matsueda
"The new poems are moving and so imbued with mortality. I was especially touched by the intensely personal ones, though they all have Pat Matsueda’s vocal signature."
            Arthur Sze, author of Sight Lines

Brilliant, shimmering with beauty and sorrow, Bitter Angels speaks to us from the intersection of the incarnate world and the transcendent. Suffering, both private and historical, weaves its legacy of pain, trans­formed here into the luminous, the healing, through the alchemy of Matsueda's exceptional, radiant poetry.
            Lillian Howan, author of The Charm Buyers
