Praise for Prime Meridian
“These poems are of a seer – unwrapping time, being, the Change we are igniting. The considerations are hard-won — who we are, what is coming upon us in this age, the passage we are entering and the exit – the seer knows it. There are no exhortations, no longings or forecasts, only the seeing, and the forthcoming Being that envelopes us more and more, “until all that is left of us.” We need this wisdom book, clear elixirs from the Source. True mind-beauty, carved with Humanity – beam, everyone must touch this volume in order to traverse the present age. Bravissimo!”
- Juan Herrera, 21st Poet Laureate of the United States

Prime Meridian Review | By Gail Goepfert
Prime meridian, like equator, makes me think divide, division. Two halves of a whole. In Connie Post’s second full-length collection, the body is divided from itself—in a complicated geography of breached boundaries. It is a narrative of self-preservation, of grieving the absence “of the life you were supposed to have.” Spinning us in and out of an often merciless reality, the narrator depicts the arduous learning of “the beauty of fractures—amnesia.” The necessity of disremembering. Ultimately, the book is a tutorial in “how to leave a body / and then return.”
