The Days You Bring

Arts & Literature

“In The Days You Bring, we walk the ‘long walk’ with Recinos through the barrio’s streets, weeping unabashedly for its ‘crucified people’ and left to contemplate the ‘horrifying obscenity of forgetfulness.’ Yet so, too, do we revel in its subtle raptures and improbable blossoms. Against the ‘thick silence’ of an indifferent world and the ‘pious white lies’ of history, The Days You Bring asks us, Can you hear the barrio’s song? Its canto and hymns? Its ‘unanswered prayers’?”
