San Miguel del Mundo Bill Watkins

A collection of poems Bill wrote in Lost Angeles, abroad in Wales, England then celebrating an extended stay in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Did you know that underneath the Spanish "Los Angeles" is a native name, the land called "Otsungna" before--or "Place of the Roses...?" Bill believes in studying and remembering the native, pre-Colombian names, pre-conquest, pre-land theft. While Bill prepares to sell a major historical fiction piece related to white people stealing Native American land, his latest poetry is now available in this volume. This is Bill's 44th self-published offering, complete with introduction, poem descriptions, illustrations and a thought-provoking, heartfelt concluding pledge that takes a shot at modern American nationalism, exceptionalism and... Racism.
