Indigo Angel by Jeanne Heuving
$30.00
In its three meditations—Mood Indigo, Brilliant Corners and Air Time—Indigo Angel takes its lead from different jazz modalities as these ray out into other arts, the natural world and human history. In serial prose and poetry septets that begin again and again, Jeanne Heuving explores ecologies of being, indexing the possibilities and impossibilities of becoming angel.
