Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "A BOOK OF MORNINGS is by far the best book of nature poems to come out in 2007. Niño creates a vast landscape of life with this small chapbook. The twenty half-page poems in this book exist as parts to one epic poem that explores part of the author's life, from falling in love to conception to childbirth to fatherhood. Each part of this epic is a glimpse, often no more than a second in time, of a morning in the life of the poet, but Niño manages to include infinity in each of these seconds"—C. J. Laity.
