A collection of artistic images that begins with the World Trade Center of 9/11 then takes us on a transformative journey through New York, Venice, the Barents Sea, to the bottom of the ocean, through the Louvre, into the heart of San Jose, then down a memory-filled Highway 101, Paper Angels changes the way we see our lives and the world as it shifts around us. These are stories of incendiary love defined by artistic courage, iconic people who dared to live with passion, and the transcendent act art brings to everyday situations to make life worth living.

​"I had the pleasure of meeting Anne Tammel a few years ago at an intimate dinner for Joan Didion hosted by my dear friend Stephanie Lacava and her husband Bryan Weiss. When reading one of the poems by the same title, I began to have flash backs of 9/11 and her words brought back the memories, but this time with beauty and grace replacing the terror I experienced that day. I witnessed the second plane hit the tower and my life changed forever. Because of that experience and the healing that had to take place, I have learned to live without fear.  Reading Anne’s beautiful poem helped lay new memory tracks in my brain."

"A work of profound and enduring beauty, PAPER ANGELS transforms the reader as it moves through the emotion and times of character, literature, and place; for such is the mastery of the author that each phrase and metaphor, each image and stanza, resonates perfectly. As with all fine works, the combination and unison of the worldly with the impersonal-yet-subjective is immaculate; such is singular mark of true genius in any genre or medium."

“Lovely, lovely! A most impressive, artistic collection that definitely will be enjoyed by all and everyone...”

​Paper Angels - For the Falling Man 

by Anne Tammel

Did you have wings?
Each limb reaching toward an open

sky above New York. Spinning,
toppling, angelic, blackening

papers drift among you--
the snowflakes of September

scattered from open windows.
Could they have been the wings

of those who won’t emerge,
releasing them to an expanse

we will not touch?
We will not know.

And will we ever
gather all of those papers?

You drift along-
side them, suspended,

momentarily—inhumanly
free, and only

for this split-second moment.
Will we ever know

what they were?
How many?

The question that fills each of
us as you topple through this odd

black morning: Who
are you? Why you choose

to drift among this pattern
of papers that dances

into the sky-turned- 
smoke—Icarian angels

rejecting despair, floating 
high above us

on euphoric wings, 
brave. Immortal,

lost…and

yet

somehow

momentarily

lofty…

"ENDLESS reads like a love letter...I feel I'm inside a museum of daring sculptures, a Grecian sun glinting off the bone white marble...I slipped easily into these literary shoes to stride confidently across the stage..."   Lois P. Jones

"Anne's writing is intimate, tactile, rhythmic and vast...I found myself taken to many places and into different periods of time..."    Eric Anfinson, artist, Anais and Henry

"ENDLESS is a mantic book, the handiwork of a sorceress and magicienne, one whose gifts with language and perception transform the sublunary and timely into pictures of dynamic affect...to put the collection aside is suddenly to see a landscape in a new light where grey and white are perpetually moving but without invention or causality. It is refreshing and rare to read such flawless poetry." 
   Kevin McGrath, Harvard University
