Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. I grew up in Los Angeles. I teach English locally at a college here in the L.A. area. I live with my two dogs, Lightning and Fire (Yes those are their real names). Soon I will be adding signed books to my webpage which is listed below. I respond to all email. I love writing and connecting with readers. Here is my email: RicardoReyesAuthor@gmail.com. My instagram is RicardoReyesAuthor. My cellular is 626 869 POET (7638). I will be listing reading engagements here soon also. Please reach out to me—I would love to hear from you. My next poetry book is halfway done. I also have a novel/screenplay about Latino history in Los Angeles. The screenplay is done. The novel will be shortly and signed copies will be pre-sold here at Goodreads. I love the poetry of Jimmy Santiago Baca and Rainer Rilke. I am also partial to the poetry of RM Drake as well as David Faudet. I love Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur—hers is an anthemic work which hopefully, continues to inspire many men and women writers around the world. Hope to hear from you.
