On the Sight of Angels

Arts & Literature

“Of the many important things these deeply felt poems accomplish—perhaps the most essential—is the view of White America they offer: the other side of America that’s seldom seen with such bravado and honesty in American poetry; an immigrant Black and Brown America ripped open by White rage and indifference. Recinos’s view of the role Christianity plays in all of this is equally profound and original. These are poems that needed to be written, truthful, often enraged, poems written by and for the soul. Amen.”
