"The streets are mean, but the gentle heart of a poet conquers the rage and puts it on the page. Beat by beat, the poetry unfolds and reveals visions from a shaman’s heart. The Sacred Poet is back, and he’s got your back. The Ancestors speak truth and sing through Juarez’s words and declarations of freedom and liberation. "

His works speak to the lonely community of schizophrenics out there. His craft is for those who pay attention to rap lyrics and for lovers of romantic love poetry, barrio ascension, gems of wisdom, and revolutionary and social justice with a touch of wild scenic. My Spoken Word Wife: Playing for Keeps highlights all of these themes and aims, and centers on respect for feminine virtues. He's the poetic soldier from every dark corner in the city, a true working-class lyricist. My Spoken Word Wife: Playing for Keeps is his first collection published with Barrio Blues Press.
