Crying Words

Writing just for the sake of writing is worthless. You have to write when you are driven to bleed into the paper. ¿Cry? Yes I would like to. But I don't know how. I only know how to cry writing. Crying words in silence. Crying Words is an introspective monologue a narrative that has something to say to everyone and yet is intensely personal. A journey an awakening it is Manu Rodriguez' most intimate work to date. Each of us feels alienated at some point in our lives and everyone knows what it is to cry but if we were able to turn those tears into words crying with ink onto the page would our words find a kinship with the words and tears of another? A way to connect emotionally through words? Deep down what are we really searching for? Wisdom? Money? Sex? Love? Inner peace? Perhaps these crying words will wash away the confusion of yesterday and carry us sailing into the future. Crying Words by Manu Rodriguez may answer some or all of these questions it is certainly a frank and open account an inner memoir a journey; a journey which each of us must ultimately take in some way at some time...
