About the Event
"One of the most important roles a poet can assume is that of emotional historian. Reigns certainly understands that notion in this necessary and genre-bending book which powerfully blends poetry, non-fiction, and reportage to reexamine the maligned story of David Acer and arrive at a truer truth with compelling honesty and the utmost compassion for all." —Richard Blanco, 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet, author of How to Love a Country
"'A Quilt for David' breaks traditional structure and cracks open what we thought we knew of the past. Through poetry and prose we glean a deep understanding into a life misunderstood and mischaracterized. Reigns goes to the mat to find out what really happened, and with his expert pacing we're right there with him."
—Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones and Three Simple Lines
