Healing Earthquakes...probably my favorite works of Jimmy Santiago Baca. Please take time to listen to the first or last ten minutes or so when you have time...it's Baca reading a portion in the first ten minutes from Healing Earthquakes which I posted back in September or in the last ten minutes, the piece titled 'Healing Earthquakes".
After that bookstore meeting, I couldn't help but write about the experience and decided to post it on my MYSPACE blog...one of my pieces, I believe that was inspired.
Working in juvenile detention I used to be surrounded by poetry and poets - often silent and waiting...for eruption, for expression, or immersed in words of truth and pain and intimacy that allows one to make an attempt to live, to reach in and then out, to heal, to be understood. I believe this poem below does just that. Thank you Rene Aguiluz for this verbal interpretation of Baca's "Who Knows Me But Me".
