The Coming Day

Arts & Literature

“Harold J. Recinos’ collection, The Coming Day, is filled with poems of great cariño, of a sensibility that is attentive to the faces and voices of those forgotten and rendered invisible by systems of oppression and neglect. His indignation at injustice, his loving attentiveness to the least and lowest remind us that we create better communities, countries, selves by the quality of attention we bring to bear on all those who are part of our many circles. His is an abiding and big-hearted imagination.”
