MOTHER TONGUE APOLOGIZE

Mother Tongue Apologize is a collection of poems studying desire and guilt, pleasure and grief, and optimism and dread, all as dualities, and Vangani’s examination of the interplay between these phenomena is skillful, brutally honest, or both.  (The Adroit Journal, July 2019)

Humor--dark, sharp, and often redemptive--permeates this irresistible collection of poems exploring womanhood, family and sexual relationships with the candor of a camera's eye 'blinking to capture one perfect shot.' Preeti Vangani cuts to the heart of each moment like a reporter on the beat; hers is a poetry of the unresolved present and the mercurial future tense. What an extraordinary mind is at work in these pages.

D.A. Powell
