Perfil--Poemas Y Cuentos

Book excerpt: PERFIL / PROFILE is a set of poems and short stories in English and Spanish featuring some of the author's revelations of his life and soul. He have no pretensions to seek your understanding or forgiveness. He only hopes you enjoy the pathos, sense of seeking, and humor in his work.The Catholic Church and his family's Mexican roots and modest means provided the foundation of his young years. He remains indebted to his parents, older brother, twin brother, and four sisters for the core of his being. Without them, he would be but a shadow.However, the church confused him early in life as he came to realize the fallibility of the institution. His intention in writing about it is not to offend but to simply offer its effects on him as an innocent and malleable child.
