Cañon's poet, Richard Trujillo, a Chicano, born and bred, possesses the old-fashioned virtues of loyalty and authenticity in his life and in his art. Despite the demons found in Richard's demi-monde, he survives, which is what his lyrics are all about.
When Richard was a young man, he was volatile, quick-tempered. "Now," he says, "I just walk away from these fools. I'm too old for that stuff. A lot of my friends are dead from needles. I used to know a lot of bad-ass gangsters. Manners and respect kept me alive. I dropped out of school in the tenth grade. I was in the guard from '57 to '59. I was in prison in '61-'62, for 18 months, for breaking and entering.
"The Sheriff, Fasho Trujillo, drove me and a friend down. Stopped in Española and bought us a beer. When we got to the joint, the guards gave Fasho hell for not having us in shackles. He said, 'know these boys. They're friends of mine.' He was good people. After I got paroled, I did not go back, not in 37 years."
"The Barbarian Dialects," Richard's first volume of poetry, was much influenced by listening to the blues. He grew up hanging out with older guys, listening to Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, James Brown, among other black artists. Later he listened to Bob Dylan and Tom Waits.
Sudden violence is never far from Richard's verse. For instance in the poem "Lonely in the Crowd," the poet writes, "Then the ending comes in flashes/Lightning blades that stink of blood/The final thunder of dots and dashes/As they loosen away the flood ..."
Though his friends have given him a lot of books, he says "I don't know where it (poetry) comes from sometimes." Richard has no formal education but he read the Bible a lot in jail or prison, because as he says, "That was the only book there."
One of the poet's most popular ballads is "Between Heaven and Hell" where "Screaming hangover shakers/that will stalk out your brain/Will turn all that cool laughter/Into bright colored pain."
The titles of "The Barbarian Dialects" reflect the experience of a man who has lived hard, loved, and seen the other side of life: "Thieves, Wizards, and Shards of Glass", "From a Barred Window," "Silver Strings" (Epistle to an Enemy of Honor), "Requiem for a Vato Loco," (Death Watch: Part Three), "Tempest Lament in Blue," "Mr. Cool," "To Maria," "Mirrors," "Ode to a Cat (Oda al Gato)."
The metaphors in his poetry reflect the concrete imagery of the street as well as the more abstract vocabulary of the passions elevated to metaphysical commentary.
He possesses a kind of raw talent, nurtured by an existentialist's survival ethos. The lyrics are tinged with sarcasm and irony.
Richard and his neighbor, the santero Patrociño Barela, were friends. "We were in jail a couple of times at the same time when I was young," says Richard. "That guy kept us laughing all night. Man, he was great."
Richard's muse is nurtured by laughter, passion, and violence, producing an uncommon commentary on what it means to live the life of a Vato Loco. The language, like the life, is rich and expressive. The poetry dances to the beat of an unusually original singer.
-- Bill Whaley

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
