Greg Bem reviews Miguel E. Ortiz Rodríguez's ANGELTONGUE / LENGUA DE ÁNGEL (2018)

Our pal Greg Bem was good enough to provide the first review for Miguel E. Ortiz Rodríguez's ANGELTONGUE / LENGUA DE ÁNGEL (2018) at Goodreads. Thanks so much! You can see the original review here.
A brief book of poems that pulls from multiple literary lineages to explore conversations of humans and angels. The poems are crisp, dense, and material. Combined with frightening illustrations, they form a visceral bond with the reader and revisit ongoing questions of mortality and superhuman capabilities. Spirituality and practicality exist in harmony here.
