An Angel With A Broken Wing

“A new page looks blank, but since the beginning of the universe-if there was a beginning-

it is never entirely so, it is never completely blank, completely new as if spawned from nihility.

But for man, a new page means to make a change that opens one’s soul to new possibilities.”


In this collected book of short, poetic reflections by C. S. Illiescu, readers will find heartfelt messages about life, God, creativity, beauty, aging, nature, and more. Through musical, evocative language, Illiescu expresses lessons learned and truths discovered over the course of her life. In sections such as “Ready to Fly,î ìIn the Moment,î and ìA New Page,” Illiescu conveys her observations on the world, herself, and human nature. Drawing inspiration not only from her own life but from the lives of others as well, she uses poetry to illustrate emotions and sentiments universal across all humankind-including love, yearning, inadequacy, wonder, worship, and gratitude.
