About the Author:
- Angel Park introduces us to Roberto F. Santiago's startling gaze. Here, we meet a poet willing the pierce the veil between past, present and future. 'When loss is all you have,' he writes 'let me remind you / at cinnamon dusk / the dead can dance.' In these poems, memory has teeth. What a meal Santiago makes of us." -- Saeed Jones, Prelude to Bruise
- By focusing on intersectionality, Santiago deftly enlarges and enriches our notions of identity. Time and again his lines ensnare and surprise. Angel Park is a wondrous debut full of grace and heart." -- Eduardo C. Corral, Slow Lightning
- Nights of love, nights of rage, and nights of whiskey and whispers and escape, of marvelous dangers and sweet safety. Roberto F. Santiago sings through it all. He says, 'It's the state of emergency / that forces me / to set paper on fire.' And this book is ablaze!" -- Brenda Shaughnessy, Our Andromeda
Roberto F. Santiago received his MFA in creative writing at Rutgers University--Newark, is a 2014 Lambda Literary Fellow, and the recipient of the 2011 Alfred C. Carey Prize for Poetry. He works as an educator in San Francisco and lives in Oakland.
