Natural Takeover of Small Things

Natural Takeover of Small Things is a collection of poetry that offers an unflinching view of "California's Heartland," the San Joaquin Valley. In his distinctive, lyrical, pull-no-punches style, Tim Z. Hernandez offers a glimpse of the people, the landscape, the rhythm, and the detritus of the rural West. As Hernandez peels back the façade of the place, he reveals that home is not always where the heart is.
