...To push away ruins that have become treacherous To do away with fences that serve no purpose I will build on long forgotten fields that no one visits now I will plant security in your beautiful land... Step into Alvero Vega's world; a world where everyone is a soldier. Where pain and healing, war and peace, salvation and damnation flow together. "I want to be unpredictable," says Vega of his poetry. In Ruins of Redemption, Vega uses his poetry, many written in both English and Spanish, to give you a glimpse of one man's deepest dreams and fears.
