Stoners and Self-Appointed Saints
By Annie La Ganga
Stoners and Self-Appointed Saints
(Red Hen Press, 2009) is a memoir told in a collage of monologues and
poems about awkward grieving, bad judgment, and important stoners.
Through lyrical passages, conversational stories, diary excerpts (and
one silly sonnet) an artist's life is revealed. A range of voices that
are funny, depressed, deluded, idealistic, cynical, wise,
compassionate, and warmly bitchy tell the story of a person determined
to make a good life out of her creative mistakes, family traumas, and
clumsy relationships. Stoners and Self-Appointed Saints is the first book written by Annie La Ganga that she didn't print and staple together herself.
