Within this book, the award winning poet's work from three previous short-run volumes of poetry are re-introduced to a wider audience as a whole piece full of diverse subjects from food to field labor, immigration to indigenous lifestyles, migrant work to military life, and dark, stark realities in a dusty little town called La Pryor. His poetic voice and authenticity, his presence and power, are indeed a rare and beautiful thing to see, hear, and read. Encapsulated in one written volume, he reveals that he is indeed a force of nature, an enigma that when heard out loud at poetry venues or as a literature conference feature, will definitely play with all extremes of your emotions, your desires, as well as, your prejudices. It is an experience that you will hardly forget. This book is a must have for the many that have heard him read within the last decade, for most of those pieces heard are found within. As for those that haven't yet, invite him to your poetry venue or your literature conference to read and you will find out exactly what it is that makes this poet so perfectly unique. Suddenly, you'll find yourself standing in line to buy this book.
