Review: In the Fray Magazine, July 2010
Larry Jaffe's new book, One Child Sold (Salmon Poetry, 2010), is about human rights and trafficking, and as such addresses the sickness and depravity of human trafficking and the necessity of cleansing such wounds for societal health. This book would seem to be filled with horror and sadness in dealing with such a depressing subject. However, the poems in this book can't seem to help themselves from believing in love and hope. Scars are touched gently and given the honor they deserve but at the same time the human spirit is shown with all its courage along with flags and drums and fifes of forgiveness for a hopeful future.
