When Angels Are Born is a rich collection of over fifty poems, that speak to the spiritual intimacy of life and living that we find through loving one another. "When Angels Are Born is a meditation, a prayer, a beautiful love song, an invitation “to sit quietly, in silence and in strength” and be transported into a world filled with light, where “we live inside one another” and where forgiveness is found. These uplifting and transcendent poems envelop the reader with grace and gratitude and echo these lines by St. Francis of Assisi: “All the darkness in the world cannot/ extinguish the light of a single candle.” ~ Hélène Cardona, Actor, poet and Henry James Scholar, author of Dreaming My Animal Selves

When Angels Are Born celebrates poetry as a language of deep intimacy, a language meant to touch the human spirit and awaken it to the mystery of life, all life. ?These poems are an invitation into a world that is intimate and wondrous, one that explores the depths of all human hearts. Beckoning the reader to engage in a spiritual practice of divine intimacy that opens the eyes and ears of the human heart, and invites a person into the mystery of relationships and creation, a world of openness and timelessness. Such a practice offers the reader an opportunity to explore the mystery of human thought, interconnections, creativity, and design, our deepest intentions, in a perichoresis or divine dance of words, love, intimacy, and transformation. ?Through this dance and practice, this openness the reader may discover a spiritual indwelling, an intimacy, where we discover oneness at work throughout creation, where we find that we dwell within one another; come and dance this divine dance.

PRAISE for - THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT BEING AN EPISCOPALIAN "Ron Starbuck is poet who has taken to heart and soul the teaching in Psalm 46, 'Be still and know that I am God.' Spoken in the voice of a deep listener, who seeks to embrace all souls in the Mystery of God's Love, who seeks to heal the breach. These poems are ecumenical both in that they are unifying and in the etymological root of the word, which is derived from the Greek word for house. Here is poetry that beautifully and prayerfully makes of the world a home where all of us may dwell." ~ AlikiBarnstone, University of Missouri "Ron Starbuck has written a work of extraordinary vision and prophecy; this is a book of both profound reverence and a song of contemporary liturgy. It is a masterpiece that will transform the belief and devotion of all who experience these lines, either verbally or literally. Without doubt, this is a great work for the new Twenty-First Century." ~ KevinMcGrath, Harvard University "A poet's work is to help expanded humanity's literary and cultural dialogue, and to magnify and transform our human perceptions. We do so by engaging new forms and symbols and vocabulary. We create new languages describing the experience of life. We offer words, and in our imaginations try our best to capture the ineffable and intangible - tongues of angels and heaven." ~ Ron Starbuck
