Grab Your Rocks & Throw: A Poetic Revolution is a collection of poems written by José "Jozer" Guerrero a poet, musician, educator and actor from Denver, Colorado. The poems in the book give you an inside look on the Chicano/Mexican American experience. Grab Your Rocks & Throw: A Poetic Revolution can be described as a roller coaster of emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, you will remember and reflect, but most importantly you will feel! The author covers topics such as immigration, educational and financial inequity, racism, stereotypes, the cycle of violence, drug abuse, parenting, and culture. The book can be a great read for folks looking for thought-provoking poetry, as well as for educators looking to expose students who may not connect or identify with the typical examples of poetry.

About the Author
Jesse Fregozo is a native Angeleno who primarily works as a painter. He vocalizes the struggles of marginalized communities through the representation of identity and culture as a primary focus. Fregozo uses locations around his community as symbols of identity and a cultural lifestyle that has been carried down generation after generation. Fregozo straddles the line between design and pop culture in the development of his work. His intense works on canvas, paper, photography, and design are mediums for the development of his artwork. For the past three years, he's been working as a Teaching Artist for the Homeboy Art Academy. Fregozo has worked at Juvenile Halls, JDRC programs, along with Parks & Recreation centers for the Homeboy Art Academy. Apart from teaching art, Fregozo has been creating public art, murals, in and out of his community as well as for The Los Angeles Unified School District, LAUSD. Currently, Fregozo is assisting artist and mentor ManOne on a community project titled "Faces of Watts" and is an artist in residency for Artshare LA's Ellsworth Artist Residency Program.
