"Re-examine all that you
have been told, dismiss that
which insults your soul."
Walt Whitman
Praise for Kids
In Cages
"de los Rios is one of my
favorite writers. He deftly
explores human emotions
with an articulate and
sophisticated voice."
Lee Caplin, producer,
Columbia Pictures' Ali,
starring Will Smith and
HBO's True Detective
"de los Rios' poetry combines
the sacred and the profane, the
lyrical with the mundane:
his words are a world unto
their own. Beauty and darkness
co-exist on every page of
Kids in Cages."
Gabriel Bologna, writer/director, The Theory of the Leisure Class and African Gothic.
