Review Quotes
Cantos, Incandescent is a testament to family, rites of passage, bloodlines, and the preservation of culture and language. Rod Carlos Rodriguez honors and opens the wounds within his words of those that society overlooks and overshadows-those forgotten souls weaving together the intricate fabric of our collective histories while maintaining a backbone of beauty. Rodriguez never shies away or sugarcoats the truth, and readers, should you find yourselves flinching, I challenge you to sit within the deep hurt and love bleeding on each page-a heart split open for us to devour.-Hillary Leftwich, author of Ghosts Are Just Strangers Who Know How to Knock and Aura, a memoir
Rod Carlos' pages in Cantos, Incandescent are filled with poetic pioneers traveling through unsettling truths in certain territories. From the captured cries of the borderlands, his tonal passages reassure us that we are not alone in our moments of migrating through vulnerable terrains. Each poem is a nomadic glimpse into a scenic cache of nostalgia or the coursing fresh cuts of our inmost pain.-Andrea " VOCAB" Sanderson, San Antonio Poet Laureate 2020-2023
In this heartfelt collection of poems, Rod Carlos Rodriguez presents scenes gathered from landscapes that are both harsh and beautiful. The speaker's voice holds the collective pain caused by heartbreak, illness, and war, "Tried to leave/ the desert where/ it was. It came with me". These poems are songs in transit, that straddle the borders of land and of beliefs. Songs in the wind searching for meaning and a nurturing embrace, wishing "for one last lullaby".-Sarah Joy Thompson, Poet, author of The Everyday, the Mundane, and the Brave (Finishing Line Press, 2019) and Driving into Black Mountains (FlowerSong Press, 2020)
