Review Quotes

"A former Catholic priest, this poet creates prayerful verse that is at once mystical and utterly human. In a series of "dreams," he investigates the very origins of human conflict."--Washington Post "To write well about your life, you need to have a life worth writing about. On that score, Sáenz, a son of the Rio Grande border, hits pay dirt.'--Booklist "A remarkable selection memorable, dynamic verse."--Midwest Book Review
