About this ebook

Longitudes & Latitudes highlights nature and relationships through its irreverently playful and experimental style, witchy feminist energy, and literary-fourth-wall-breaking intimacy.

Ratings and reviews

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. The author brilliantly weaves experimental, modernist and beat poet influences with a baroque and romantic consideration of language. This work is fiercely feminist, mischievous and even has moments of sarcastic humor, all ultimately life affirming, hopeful, transformative.

This collection is short and sweet, I found myself wanting to read on after the book had ended. Her words are vulnerable and honest; exploring themes of love, heartbreak and home, it’s as if Angeni takes you on a journey through her heart.
