Reseña del libro "Latitude, Longitude (en Inglés)"
The currents of the sea course throughout the poems of Nancy Anne Miller's Latitude, Longitude . The work collected here explores the liminal spaces between the surf and shore, the poet and the page, myth and memory, the living and the dead. As the book's title suggests, the poet wanders with a wondrous awe at the natural world and humanity's place in it. In these poems Miller helps us locate the many ways we may find beauty, love, and ourselves.-Richard Georges, Poet, Author of Epiphaneia (Out-Spoken Press 2019) winner of the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature 2020There is a cleanness to Nancy Anne Miller's poems that reminds me of crystal-clear water; a coolness that feels like a dip into blue seas; a sharpness that hits like the slap of a sudden plunge into deep ocean.In this collection Miller, Bermuda-born, seeks and finds direction in the latitudinal and longitudinal markings of seascape and shorescape as she explores issues of homesickness, homecoming, ecology, aging, life, death. Miller's poems are embedded in the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean. Lulled by gentle rhythms, we are surprised by unpredictable currents, unexpected encounters with piercing jagged imagery. Throughout, Miller navigates with deft assurance. As her poems demonstrate, "The island must / always be near."-Kim Robinson-Walcott PhD; Editor of Caribbean Quarterly , UWI, Mona, and Jamaican Journal , Institute of Jamaica; and Author of Out of Order!
