Time of Triumph: Short Stories and Selected Poems Ronald P. Chavez

Short stories that allow you to feel, understand, cry, laugh and rage about the human condition. . . Poems that reflect the character of the poet and his take on life and nature. . . These are the essence of Time of Triumph, a truly spellbinding collection written by the Route 66 Storyteller, Ron Chavez who has created a "spark of renewed interest in Hispanic literary tradition with one of the most successful bilingual poetry readings ever in Taos, NM". Chavez reaffirms the indomitable human spirit by drawing from the real breath of life and breathing that life into characters who will stir your emotions with their journeys of chance and fate, and ask you to dig deep into the pit of your soul in response. Ron Chavez, longtime owner of the Old Route 66 Club Café, helped put Route 66 on the map. In these compelling tales and poems, Time of Triumph captures the true spirit of the real people, the gente, and sense of place on old Route 66 and in northern New Mexico. Come, re-live the glory!
