Book

Until we are level again / Jos©Øe Angel Araguz.

Summary:

In his third collection, Jos©Øe Angel Araguz's poems grope the walls of a dark room, looking for answers from a father who has been absent. The writing amplifies the ache of empty spaces, and delves into themes of culture, home, growth, reflections, and change. --Provided by publisher.
