'Dropping Ecstasy With The Angels' is Dee Rimbaud's second collection of poetry. It follows on from where 'The Bad Seed' left off: that is, moving (haltingly) towards the light.

Of course, anyone familiar with Dee's earlier work will know fine that this light can burn as well as illuminate. There's no namby-pamby new age platitudes in here. Dee's poetry is as razor sharp and keen as it always was, but now it is tempered with a certain maturity, and he is even occasionally prone to the odd outburst of startling lyrical beauty.

'Dropping Ecstasy With The Angels' won The Poetry Kit Poetry Book Award, came 4th in The Poetry 2000 Award, and was nominated for a Saltire Award. A selection from this collection made the final six of The Robert Graves Award.
