Raul Sanchez is a Seattle-based author and mentor of bilingual poetry. His previous book AllOur Brown-Skinned Angels published by MoonPath Press, launched his name into the roster ofpublished poets. His cultural background allows him to use passages from his early life inMexico City and apply the lessons learned in his work. Since retirement, he has volunteered atthe King County Juvenile Detention Center mentoring incarcerated youth through the PONGOmethod. His mentoring in the schools (WITS and Jack Straw Cultural Center), has been essentialto his poetic growth because as he put it The youth see the world differently than him, therefore he learns from their outlook. Raul is an avid spiral thinker, driving in a straight linethen suddenly turning left or right, but never loosing the reader in the detour. Raul is a self-taught poet who keeps on writing, teaching, helping the youth, and reading in public, allowinghis voice to carry the words like dandelion fuzzies into the ears of those who listen.
