Happy to announce that the latest reprint of my first chapbook, The Wall, has arrived! This reprint is the fourth for my little book that came out in 2012.
If you are interested in a copy, email me at: thefridayinfluence@gmail.com Copies can be purchased via PayPal or check.
There are only forty-four copies, so act fast!
Here’s what poet Naomi Shihab Nye was kind enough to say about The Wall:
“Jose Angel Araguz is a stunning writer. His deep listening – despite walls and silences among them – and his willingness to carry voices of longing and connection even when facts of the world proclaim endless disconnection – help make him a poet of great essential honor and hope. Please welcome him.”
Special thanks to Colette and JoAn at Tiger’s Eye Press for their continued support and belief in the project!
