Words Chosen for the Wall

Arts & Literature

“Like an archeologist excavating layers in the cartographies of memory, Harold Recinos weaves the reader into piercing stories of childhood and the communal lives of a people who forge life from death and wholeness from the shards of time. The poems of this book are to be contemplated, for they will reveal the world of the poor and of the God who is encountered in the tenements of New York City, in the villages of El Salvador, in the rubble of Gaza, and in every rejected place where holiness has pitched its tent and dwells.”
