All Reviews - The Wings of Angels
Write a review.

'The Wings of Angels: A memoir of madness continues Sandy Jeffs’ articulation of the spirit and reality of the underworld of the mind that pushes itself into existence through her own schizophrenia … never romanticising madness, she writes with grit and candour of the dark confusion, the well of suffering inside mental illness.'

Blue Dog

‘Read it because it will sweep you up and take you into another world. Read it because doing so will be enriching and challenging.’

Susan Pepper, New Paradigm

‘Like Dante’s Inferno, these poems take us deeper and deeper into images of what can best be called hell … [this] poet’s ability to track such apocalyptic insights in coherent verse is a major achievement’

Mandy Treagus, Lesbiana

‘This poetry is clear and concise with no smokescreens of pretence. It is directly from the unconscious yet nowhere is there babble. Always there is the driving force of intelligence, questioning the reality of delusion and the reality of the concrete. Always there is the powerful, simple, at times Biblical rhythm; a certainty of purpose; and a precision of craft.’
