Produktbeschreibung
The Coming Day documents life at the edges of American society in ways that are both personal and universal in human experience. In this collection, poems stand at the crossroads of anthropology, theology, history, and ethnic identity to address issues of violence, poverty, immigrants' rights, family life, drug addiction, cultural diversity, and the struggle and hope of those too long ignored. The craft in these poems keenly documents life across the vast landscape of the United States and parts of Latin America to effectively make the world of forgotten people comprehensible. Recinos' collection seeks to give voice to the invisible people of the Americas born on God's day off.
