Like you haven’t heard about this one! I’ve admired Simone Muench, as a poet, mentor, and friend, for a long, long time. Please check out her latest!
The new book from Sarabande Books is graced with a painting by Yves Tanguy, and has already garnered praise from the likes of YusefKomunyakaa: “Though Simone Muench’s Orange Crush is riveted with poignant moments of history, each poem revels in a contemporary passion that holds the reader in an abiding now. I believe and trust each highly tuned moment, every little, intrinsic turn. This poet’s music is unique and personal, but it’s also public; words collide softly to create a sound of feeling that registers in the body and mind. Orange Crush celebrates everydayness, while always moving toward the revelatory.”
