"Cornered by the Dark is a triumph."
--Junot D az, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao W. H. Auden, Jorge Luis Borges, Howard Thurman, Julia Equivel, Thomas Merton, Langston Hughes, Pedro Pietri and Miguel Pi ero, in their work make a connection between poetry, social criticism and the meaning of life together--that is a part of Harold Recinos' literary labor. His work creates a fusion between the personal and the public in verse that is searching, expansive, and walking hurt streets. Cornered by the Dark is a work about truth-telling and witness-bearing to the marginal men, women, and children who tell their story about a culture of indifference and callousness while finding courage and compassion to hope in everyday life.
