Words of Fire is a sophisticated and unique rendition of society and the human experience through rhythmic poetry. Some poems are short, though most are long. Some content is light, though most is heavy. It touches on the subjects of politics, culture, gangs, history, identity, the prison industry, God, racial dynamics in America, the economy, family, and much more. Although much of the content describes the problems of American society, Words of Fire also offers possible solutions and lessons we can learn from mistakes that have been made.
Over de auteur
Poet, musician, educator, entrepreneur, and visionary, Miguel Gonzalez began writing poetry in the 4th grade. Born in Los Angeles, California to first generation Colombian parents, he carries forward a legacy of artists and educators. His path through adolescence and teen-hood reflected a common story of busy parents chasing the American dream, and personal battles with American society. Finally discovering the power of education, and his talent for the artistic and academic, he turned his life around. Inspired by the music and culture of his parents’ native Colombia, he embarked upon a journey of cultural revival while pursuing his Bachelor’s degree. Today he uses his knowledge of arts and culture to empower youth that are facing the troubles he once faced. Words of Fire is his first manifesto and declaration of consciousness and commitment to uplift the human race.
