Arching into the Afterlife

Poetry. ARCHING INTO THE AFTERLIFE presents us with an unusual critique of the nature of freedom, a spiritual journey through madness and hell, a coda to dead Cubans, and, above all, the song of an apostate who finds "God's face receding" from a land "full of innocence/ and a comfortable slumber." In Medina we find a constant tension between despair and hope, between the insensate and the blessing of empathy, between a cold death and the cleansing of dead winter. What Carthage was to St. Augustine, Trenton, New Jersey, is to Pablo Medina.Medina, Pablo is the author of 'Arching into the Afterlife' with ISBN 9780927534123 and ISBN 0927534126.
