Book Synopsis Journey Through Baca by : Gordon Griffith
Download or read book Journey Through Baca written by Gordon Griffith and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey Through Baca is an anthology of poems that documents the life of a young man who bounced back from trauma and abuse, homelessness and a failing marriage to discover purpose and meaning in life. It follows his failures and successes in sharp imagery and rhythmic language which moves you to tears, laughter or ecstatic delight. The poem, Dear Mother, is pivotal in this collection. It pulls together pain and suffering into a beautiful love story in the form of a letter from a dying gay man to his abusive mother. The contrast of Reflection and Angry Reflection show how our emotions dictate the way we see the world. This anthology deals with emotional pains, detachment and neglect; offers hope and provides comic relief to the harsh realities of life. This book of poems will take you on a journey through your darkest moments and help you to dig deep and muscle up the resilience to push back and enjoy life to the full. It translates the words of Jesus, ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’ (John 10:10) and tells the reader how to access this life.

Jimmy Santiago Baca "writes with unconcealed passion," Denise Levertov states in her introduction, “but he is far from being a naive realist; what makes his writing so exciting to me is the way in which it manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythic and archetypal significance of life-events."

You won’t soon forget it.” —The San Diego U-T “This book will have a permanent place in American letters.” —Jim Harrison, New York Times–bestselling author of A Good Day to Die

Book Synopsis Please Try Your Call Again Later by : James Baca
Download or read book Please Try Your Call Again Later written by James Baca and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please Try Your Call Again Later is my story of fighting like hell for assistance that was allegedly available to everyone during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Like many people, COVID-19 impacted my income severely, and brought my work as a consumer advocate to a standstill. Stimulus money, PPP loans, and child tax credits kept many afloat during this time. Amended rules allowed me to apply for unemployment benefits. More than 18 months later, I am at a stalemate to be fully approved. I have called over a thousand times to the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) just to be hung up on. According to media reports, The State of New Mexico at one point was only answering 6% of calls! The three times I connected with an associate only led to additional issues to my application. Help has never seemed so far away. The experience I have endured has eerie parallels to the customer service ineptitude of the banking industry, which I worked in for 13 years. I explain that while we applauded companies for stepping up customer service during the first part of COVID-19, the foot is definitely off the gas pedal now. This book details every insane step made by me asking for help, as well as every insane misstep made by the state. I share my stories of interacting with an outdated website, and an overworked, overwhelmed apathetic staff at NMDWS. I also discuss how this experience has shown me how the less fortunate are left behind and ridiculed for asking for help, which in turn has changed my mindset to be a person who gives back to the community that gave me success. I also get personal and discuss the health and financial hurdles NMDWS has thrown my way by screwing up my case and the cases of others. It's a story you never believe can happen to you...Until it happens to you. If the state doesn't want to pay me the money rightfully available to me by law, then, what the hell? Let's write a book about how awful they have been to me and others, sell it for a fair price, make that money back, and give some of it to great causes as a unique way of sticking it to the man! 15% of all net proceeds from this book will go to benefit a couple of non-profit organizations.
