Villain's Vernacular is a book of poems and short stories based on true events of life in Los Angeles as seen through the eyes of a Mexican American underpriviledged artist. Look into the multicolored stained glass window of imagination and Travel through the heartaches and triumphs as you cross into a world of words where poetry dances with darkness in a harmonious combination of tears and laughter, doubt and strength, love and misery and all other aspects of life confined in a book that challenges the reader to concider the perspective of a "villain" and determine if the artistry displayed can be deemed as heroic.
