The Latemoni Anthology
By LaTesha Monique
The Latemoni Anthology is the definitive collection of LaTesha Monique’s poetic legacy: a sacred gathering of 27 years of poetry, letters, notes, and intimate reflections from every season of her becoming. Spanning girlhood to womanhood, heartbreak to healing, faith to revelation, this anthology chronicles the evolution of a poetess who turned her life into language and her wounds into wisdom.
Within these pages, readers will discover the raw beginnings of a nine-year-old writer, the sharpened voice of a grown woman, and the spiritual clarity of an artist who has spent nearly three decades documenting her inner world. Each piece reveals a different version of LaTesha fierce, tender, broken, rebuilding, rising and together they form a powerful narrative of resilience, self-discovery, and transformation.
Though this is her final anthology, it is not the end of her poetry. It is a milestone an honoring. A closing of one chapter and the intentional opening of another as she steps into new ventures that reflect her purpose, her expertise, and the woman she continues to evolve into.
The Latemoni Anthology is more than a book; it is a body of work, a spiritual archive, and a love letter to every reader who has witnessed LaTesha Monique’s growth or seeks the courage to begin their own.
