Small Story about the Sky
Rios evokes the mysterious and unexpected forces that dwell inside the familiar.--The Washington Post R os delivers another stunning book of poems, rich in impeccable metaphors, that revel in the ordinariness of morning coffee and the crackle of thunderous desert storms. In one sonnet, R os addresses injustice in the borderlands, capturing with mathematical precision the everyday struggles that many migrants face--'The border is an equation in search of an equals sign.'
