Not to Miss!
Longitudes & Latitudes, ninety-nine delicious poems by Phoebe Angeni, is an open invitation to spend time in a most cherished space while exploring human feeling on a gritty, vulnerable, relatable, even mythical scale. These poems read like they are meant to be spoken aloud, as the poet’s attention to sound, playful imagery and turns of phrase evokes a sensation of theatrical storytelling. The author brilliantly weaves experimental, modernist and beat poet influences with a baroque and romantic consideration of language - sumptuous words connect you, transport you and affirm you. This work is fiercely feminist, mischievous and even has moments of sarcastic humor, all ultimately life affirming, hopeful, transformative. A “not to miss” addition to your library.
