Profile: Poems and Stories

In this collection of poems and stories, Armando Garcia-Dávila shows us why he is one of Sonoma County's best writers as he celebrates his Mexican heritage and grieves his church. Garcia-Dávila writes of his book, "What follows in this book are some revelations of my life and soul through a few poems and short stories. I have no pretensions to seek your understanding or forgiveness. I only hope you enjoy the pathos, sense of seeking, and humor in my work. The Catholic Church and our family's Mexican roots and modest means provided the foundation of my young years. I remain indebted to my parents, older brother, twin brother, and four sisters for the core of my being. Without them, I would be but a shadow. However, the church confused me early in life as I came to realize the fallibility of the institution. My intention in writing about it is not to offend but to simply offer its effects on me as an innocent and malleable child."
