As a poet of the imagination, Bob Heman's "information" pieces create microcosms in which all things are possible, where language creates everything and anything, and into which reality sometimes rears its head. His "information" series reflects prose poems written over a span of almost thirty years and this collection, Washing the Wings of the Angels, draws upon seventy-nine written in the past decade that figure most securely, as well as most enduringly, in Heman's consciousness. Written with no premeditation at all, these prose poems just happen, often taking on a life of their own, hopefully to take wing and surprise the reader with a startling and engaging juxtaposition of language and image.

About the Author

BOB HEMAN'S words have been anthologized recently in Contemporary Tangential Surrealist Poetry: an anthology (SurVision Books), A Shape Produced by a Curve (great weather for MEDIA), Contemporary Surrealist and Magic Realist Poetry: An International Anthology (Lamar University Literary Press) and Alcatraz (Life Before Man), and have been translated into Spanish, Arabic, Farsi, Italian and Hungarian. His art includes collages, ink drawings and participatory cut-out multiples on paper. One of his collages will appear on the cover of the new ekphrastic anthology, Dancing About Architecture (MadHat Press). In the late 1970s he was an artist-in-residence at The Brooklyn Museum. Quale Press has published two other collections from him: How It All Began (2007) and Demographics, or, The Hats They Are Allowed to Wear (2009).
