Reviews

"Ríos is a poet of reverie....[he] writes in a serenely clear manner that enhances the drama in the quick scenes he summons up."-- New York Times Book Review "Rios's verse inhabits a country of his own making, sometimes political, often personal, with the familiarity and pungency of an Arizona chili." --Christian Science Monitor "Ríos' poems follow a path of wonder and gently move us to emotional truths." --American Book Review
