Kirkus Reviews, the prestigious American magazine,
wrote the following about

 

...and Drink the Liquid Sound of Wisdom…

 

"A devotional poetry collection with a surprisingly refreshing voice."

 

"DeAngelo’s collection of poems, prayers and meditations is not a book about how “spiritual” she is. Rather, it’s an ongoing exploration of faith in its purest, most desperate sense — reaching for something larger that must be there... Throughout the collection, DeAngelo demonstrates a keen understanding of the rhythm and flow of language, as well as how its construction and placement on the page can contribute to and enhance meaning by focusing attention on certain words, phrases or expressions..."

"These pieces share an ear for language, an eye for structure and a feel for language that cuts vividly to the core of the matter. The collection as a whole gives readers the sense that both it and the faith it expresses are works in progress, if not living beings in and of themselves. It’s a collection not only to savor, but to return to."

 

"A nuanced exploration of faith with a clear sense of poetics."
