IN THIS striking piece by John Biscello, the narrator takes a quick trip to heaven to meet “the bluest of blue angels.” The audio channels Marlene Dietrich’s provocative voice as evocative words jump out at the listener– headed toward an inevitable conclusion? Not to miss!

Originally from Brooklyn, NY, award-winning author, poet, performer, and playwright, John Biscello, has lived in the high-desert grunge-wonderland of Taos, New Mexico since 2001. He is the author of four novels, Broken Land, a Brooklyn Tale, Raking the Dust, Nocturne Variations, and No Man’s Brooklyn; a collection of stories, Freeze Tag; two poetry collections, Arclight and Moonglow on Mercy Street; and a fable, The Jackdaw and the Doll, illustrated by Izumi Yokoyama.
