Narration by Steve Rizzo

Get to know the poet:

1) What is the theme of your poem?
The theme of this poem is the internal struggle of the fallen angel.

2) What motivated you to write this poem?
A lot of my work has explored the idea of angels and the spirit world. I write a lot of poetry using this imagery.

3) How long have you been writing poetry?
Over 35 years.

4) If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would
that be?
I would probably want to have dinner with the Empress Josephine as reading about her life was one of the major influences in my writing career. I finally got the chance to write about her in my latest novel, Beneath The Echoes of Paris.

5) What influenced you to submit to have your poetry performed by a
professional actor?

I love hearing how my work is interpreted by others.

My passion in life is creation. Create to live, live to create.
