Jill, it’s a fascinating piece, on both your poem, & poetics, & the Benjamin connection. The image, which he goes to, but which various poets i am sure have alluded to in various ways (i know i have), is, yes, itself variously ambiguous & perhaps should be read as she & Osborne do, but seeing that angel as meta & imago & certainly suggesting a sense of defeat if not actual defeat will continue, or can be one of he ways it operates in the image bank. Meanwhile, Williamson has fascinating things to say aout the poem. Could you perhaps post it for us here?
