The emotional impact of Albino Carrillo’s poetry is imparted with the rhythm and the nuances of a thunderstorm. Rumble of clouds, then lightning, without strain, his words bring a rush of excitement then reflection that is not like anything I’ve read before.
In “Uranium Days,” Carrillo reminds us “We are as fleeting/as the winds moments/for the blind hot stars’to peer at us and wonder.” Something frighteningly true and something made much clearer when filtered through Albino Carrillo’s poetry. These are poems which are immediate, universal, direct, and memorable.
-Martina Reisz Newberry
I have always thought of Albino Carrillo as one of the strongest poets of his generation. URANIUM DAYS is a book of poems that stands in brilliant mundane detail while opening the reader’s mind and heart with a sudden high strangeness of distant music and starkly present landscapes. This is his most intimate and hunting collection yet.
-a wonderful book.
