Om Boy

Manuel González's "OM Boy" is a heartening look forward, informed by the past that he's come to terms with in order to make Art, family, a difference in the world. He breaks down the myths of who he's "supposed to be" and writes about the power of emotion and what it is he strives to bring to his communities. He lets us walk in his shoes, feel his experiences, and join him to "Be the one who battles darkness/With light."-Matt Mason, Nebraska State Poet, Author of The Baby That Ate Cincinnati
