Confessions of a Captured Angel, by Neil Carpathios

Congratulations to Neil for the feature of his poem The Captured Angel Comments on Death on Verse Daily. The poem is from Confessions of a Captured Angel.

​Congratulations to Neil for the wonderful review his book received from Grace Cavalieri in the Washington Independent Review of Books.

Praise for Confessions of a Captured Angel:
“How do you make a poet or at least / a man in love with death?” I can’t answer this, but I can say that turning fifty helps. In these wise and lovely mortal ruminations Neil Carpathios, long one of my favorite poets, turns fifty, that perilous promontory from which the world starts to flicker like an old neon sign.  But age just makes Carpathios pay attention all the more keenly. The joy of this book is that it makes us pause with him on our little human journey and take in the view while we still have time. You couldn’t ask for a better guide.
                        —George Bilgere
