Blue Bubblegum

About the Book

Blue Bubblegum is the second book in a series of sticky literature written for the struggles connected to working-class poor people. William A. Gonzalez eliminates all 3rd party perspectives by wrapping authentic direct truth into the context he scribes for his people. Scribed into this piece of tree are stories, poetry, prose, quotes, and haikus pasted together through art. Whether you are a Blue-collar worker, a son or daughter of a modern-day slave, or considered invisible within America—these scribes are dedicated to you. “It is very simple to keep stepping over a voice stuck inside cold Bubblegum that sleeps on top of concrete asphalt; to scrape this Bubblegum off the ground you must first melt it—only then can you sing for that voice.”

About the Author

William A. Gonzalez was born in the ‘other’ Los Angeles, California. His passion for writing did not begin inside of a public school system classroom, it started by painting words onto naked landscapes throughout the inner-city gutter that wrapped around him on a daily basis. Gonzalez is proud to be a tiny seed of the working class poor. However, he has made a decision to ‘put down the shovel, and pick up a pen’—by doing so, he plans on slowly breaking a family cycle of providing modern-day slave labor to service sectors controlled by the privileged and paint pictures for the invisible people who cannot write for themselves. W.A.G penned the award winning unedited book entitled “Black Bubblegum” 1st place winner of the 2013 New England Book Festival ‘Wild Card’ category. “There is too much beauty inside working- class poor sweat; not to dip your pen into it for colors.”
