Literary Editorial Review
In "Michael + Josephine," Jo Reyes-Boitel presents a thought-provoking and artistically daring collection that transcends traditional genre definitions. The author weaves together elements of magical realism and romance, creating a narrative that features St. Michael, reimagined as a queer woman warrior, and Josephine, a multiracial Latinx disaster worker. This vibrant tapestry of stories offers a refreshing lens on love, identity, and service, celebrated through lush and inviting language that resonates deeply with readers. The poetry within the collection, rich with emotion and intricate imagery, draws on themes of yearning, heartbreak, and the coexistence of the sacred and the secular. Reyes-Boitel's ability to blend these elements allows each piece to stand alone while contributing to a harmonious narrative whole. Readers have praised poems such as "A Visit to the Ocean," an ode to love and faith, recognizing the depth and nuance they bring to the work. Critics have noted the collection's bold risk-taking in both its themes and style, describing it as a significant contribution to contemporary poetry and a much-needed voice in the genre. The lively and experimental nature of Reyes-Boitel’s writing captivates audiences, making their experience both enchanting and emotionally engaging. Overall, "Michael + Josephine" is heralded as not only a poetic exploration of diverse and complex emotions but also as a celebration of the human experience through a fresh and original perspective. It is an exceptional read for anyone looking to delve into beautifully crafted storytelling that reflects modern realities and resonates on multiple levels. **
