Redoubted - Poems By

R. Vincent Moniz, Jr., records the life and times of a mostly uneducated, economically disadvantaged, literary award-winning urban Indin. Much of his work reflects the people and stories from a neighborhood with the moniker Cockroach while simultaneously depicting contemporary issues of Native America. His formidable verse irradiates and acknowledges the lives of an in-between people who are too urban for the reservation and too indigenous for American culture, as he himself navigates multitudes that include his place within nerd/pop culture, widening the scope of his writing. His poetry is a blend of orators that came before him, and the reader can see these narratives twist and turn to the beat he writes them in.
