Poetry book foreword by Chris Ophoven

Angela's search for the physical and emotional source drives her poetry, and her watercolors for that matter.  There is an exterior perception that she expects the reader to possess and then she draws them deeper to discover an erotic and emotional truth.

At their very least her words are an awkward, sensitive contemplation driven by a raw and honest anxiety which only fuels a longing that exists in everyone.  Aggressively searching for the tender spot, she leads you to a point of violent and seductive explosiveness and then eases you off without letting you arrive at the place she has already been.

Her words keep you hungry for more while revealing insecurities that are wrapped comfortably about her own understanding of herself and her world.
