Gaudent Angeli

A journey through time, mythology, and the human spirit in contemporary verse.
What is time? Mary O'Malley's Gaudent Angeli explores our changing understanding of it, from the angels' rejoicing to Einstein's reconceptions. In a disorienting world, these poems restore connections through mythology and ecology. The Demeter and Persephone sequence examines time across generations, while new gods mischievously spin the clock hands.

This collection delves into themes of loss, memory, and transformation, inviting readers to reflect on fate and the human condition. Gaudent Angeli is for readers of contemporary poetry interested in mythology, ecology, and philosophical themes.
