Latitude

Chosen as the winner of the 2021 APR/Honickman First Book Prize by Guggenheim Fellow Ada Limóoacute;n Natasha Rao's debut collection <i>Latitude</i> abounds with sensory delights rich in colors flavors and sounds. These poems explore the complexities of family cultural identity and coming of age. By turns vulnerable and bold <i>Latitude</i> indulges in desire: In my next life let me be a tomato / lusting and unafraid Rao writes “knowing I’ll end up in an eager mouth.”
