Book: Some Angels Wear Black: Selected Poems These concrete narrative poems imbued with Eli Coppola's straightforward, feisty sensibility explore the difficulties and rewards of love: what one goes through to love and be loved. Class ("Huddle When the Sky Turns Yellow"), social injustice ("Jury Duty"), and mortality ("Casual Hands, Brutal Stars, Past Things") are recurrent themes, but love is always the driving force. This striking collection shows that Coppola's muscular dystrophy preoccupied her less than the daily difficulties of being a woman of no great financial means living in a very imperfect world.
