Prayers of Little Consequence is a debut collection by a new poet and first generation Mexican American, Gilbert Arzola. Arzola’s humble, penetrating voice invites us into his story with poems about growing up poor and Mexican in an all-white neighborhood as well as poems about family, the self, and people in his life he has lost. Love and determination emanate from every page.
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Gilbert Arzola explains that he was a poet at 5 but the world changed him.
