This is the poetry of a man who used to busk in Central Park under the name of Ruben De Escapado. He now goes under the name of ruben encontrado. It is a collection of about five years worth of poetry. Beginning from a time of solitude, then that of flattery and love, isolation and betrayal, and the pursuit of redemption. Throughout the course of these five years he frequently wrote until pens ran out of ink. This is a collection of one with little talent and ability, but of extreme resolve and dedication. Pursuing their dream with tunnel vision because others told him he could not achieve it.
ruben encontrado self-identifies as an activist and absolutely ridiculous. It is his hope that as you follow the trajectory of his writing you witness the shedding and becoming of the self that we go through in the pursuit of truth in this challenging life. You are deeply appreciative for your support.
