The Smokey Lounge Jose Gabriel Garcia

The writing style to this book is again on relationships, lonesomeness, the hip scene teenagers and adults talk about, and, on another topic, nature. Poems written in Spanish have been followed by the English translation as well. I held on to the shamanistic realm of depicting nature, though not as strongly as in my first book. The language is generally smoother around the edges. This is in focus grants the tone of the book and mood on a lighter note. Since Finger Hingez published in 2006, I have not been influenced in the essence of poetry. It has been years to this second book and publication. My reading material in this span of time has been resolved around crime fighting novels and adventurous stories. I strongly believe going green is the direction all civilization needs to head to preserve our spot in the future and am involved in saving wildlife, wildlife reserves, recreational parks, and planting trees. I now live with my wife and two beautiful daughters in New Mexico.
