At the Bottom, but Looking Up Miguel Pimentel

A collection of poems and short stories broken up into two sections. Part one, called "at the bottom" goes into things like marriages gone wrong, raising a child who is more left-wing than you ever could be, living with bi-polar disorder and of course being in love. Part two, called "looking up" has a set of short stories involving a fairy who wants to learn about science, a mob boss that goes crazy and a young woman who has to think about whether she wants to get rich. In the book, the words will jump from emotion to emotion and back again. The whole book serves as a reminder that sometimes there are days where we can do no wrong but, there are also times that everything comes crashing down and we're left under the weight of all of our wrongs. Remember that when you're at the bottom, you could still look up.
