After Dark

Arts & Literature

“With his own style of grammar and flow of language, with each poem Recinos steadily indicts America’s racism and hypocrisy—reduces the lies of its political system and false prophets (more in it for the money and power than for God) to dust under the steady beat of the poems hammering on the anvil of his heart, his pain, his hope, his dreams—every kid in school should read this book. It’s a must!”
