A former director of the Museo del Barrio, Agueros has also translated for the New York Public Theater and Sesame Street. Like the title, each of these 65 brief psalms is addressed to God. "There must be a heaven - with subway trains that almost run on time - for any poet with this kind of courage, integrity and humor, who once would have been damned as a heretic, and would have worn the accusation proudly. Agueleros is one street-philosopher who won't let the Lord off with a warning"-Martin Espada.
