Join us for an IG chat with J. Daniel Cruz Tuesday, 10/25 at 1pm PDT

We'll be talking with Jesus-Daniel about A Path of Roses and Thorns.

A Path of Roses and Thorns
(2022)

Mexican LGBTQ writer, artist, and poet J. Daniel Cruz pulls from his experiences as a gay man and recipient of D.A.C.A. in this evocative collection of poetry. Expressing himself through eloquent verse, he takes on several themes: the push and pull between romance and self-preservation. The pain of growing up and living as a person of color in America. The passion of an artist. The frustration with national and global injustice.

Reflecting the author’s roots, original poems written in both English and Spanish are included. Also included are specially dedicated poems to celebrate beloved members of Cruz’s communities.

A Path of Roses and Thorns is a powerful and emotive collection echoing experiences that members of any community can empathize with.

You can purchase the book at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B92LDZ52
