John Patrick Acevedo's forthcoming book entitled "SPIRIT NATION Poems From A Heretical Faith" is about the Logos, Pathos, and Ethos that his life, love, and work has given him as well as taken away from him. It is also a book of Truths, especially the dynamics of the world of have and have-not's. In it, John Patrick Acevedo suggests that the inequity of the world is because of the non-compromise and the over-competition of the worker and market. Market uses the worker by the heart's active giving and the worker abuses market by the body's passive giving. Market abuses the worker by the soul's active taking and the worker uses market by the mind's passive or emotional taking. Acevedo suggests in his poetry that market should be more accountable and the worker should be more goal-driven. He further offers his belief in a "family of faith" as well as a "Spirit Nation" that is neither America or Puerto Rico, where he currently resides with his paternal family, but rather an ideal that he believes is the fundamental mystery of both the Old and New Testament of the Holy Bible. His idea resounds in both the macro-reality of praise and the micro-reality of prayer.
