Windows to Minds

​

In Windows to Minds, Martinez masterfully uses free form poetry to present perspectives of life that range from pleasantly endearing to shockingly confrontational. He invites readers to open their minds and consider his perspectives, while ultimately challenging them to think for themselves and not take anything he or anyone else says for granted.

This is the second edition of Martinez's first book. It contains most of the poems and short stories from the first edition, which received excellent feedback from a variety of readers, plus over twenty pages of material that was not in the first edition.
