Description: "Len Roberts is a poet of unwavering truthfulness and unwavering mercy, ' commented Sharon Olds about Black Wings, a 1988 National Poetry Series selection. Counting the Black Angels, Robert's eighth book of poetry, is a piercingly painful and redemptive work in which he probes memories of a violent family history and his covenants with God and the 'Black Angels."
