In ANGEL we discuss this winged, pre-, supra- and post-human—-and needless to say fabulous--entity of primordial origin, touching on the Cone of Silence, the Catholic Encyclopedia, the Book of Enoch, Paul Tillich, Milton, the incarnation of evil, and Al-Hallaj, the Persian Sufi mystic martyred for proclaiming, in so many words, “I am Allah.” We speak of angelic sexual practice (if they have gender), the thesis of angels as representative of an influence field—-including Rilke’s meeting and intermingling with it—-and conclude with a reading of Bob Dylan’s “Three Angels.”
