El amor nunca es perfecto

Winner of the David Lloyd Kreeger Creativity Award (1988) and the George Mason University Poetry Prize (1976), Brother Rick Wilson, T.O.R., presents here a collection of his finest creative writing poems of family, love, suffering and memory. His poems are vivid, intelligent, musical, and intimate. "Sound is wonderfully wedded to sense here... This is a book which yields up in richness what I most long for when I pick up a book of poems: vision; experience; travel in the world as another soul views it."-Richard Bausch. O. Henry Award; PEN/ Faulkner Award Citation.
