In the Birth of a New Dawn

By John R. Hernandez, Jr.

The book is an assortment of poems that reflect not only on his own life experiences but, some relate to other distinct subjects; all neatly tucked into a most magnificent work of art long to be enjoyed by many generations to come. The main topic of this book is heartbreak and loss and the realization that there is light at the end of the tunnel of torment and pain. The poems read at times like love letters and at other times like endlessly and beautifully written feelings straight from the heart about a loved one. While still others ask the question of why did it end and why can’t it be again? One of these pieces of prose is worth the price of the book and so here lies a treasure for the heart to experience, for a long time to come. You will proudly cherish, share and keep this book in a special place and or even in that library of romanticist prose. Written mostly in the long hand version which does not easily lend itself to the rhyming versions we are so used to seeing from other romanticist poetry; the message of heartbreak and loss rings just as clearly as in all the rest. There is a flow in these pieces of prose that touch on that part of the heart in love that wants to be heard.

John R. Hernandez, Jr.

John R. Hernandez studied for four years at Rutgers University in New Jersey as a communications major where he began to fine tune the European Spaniard romanticist and Caribbean heritage of his earlier ancestors. The son of a broken marriage, he walked through life with a deep gash in his heart that later came to be relived in his own life experiences and relationships. If you take anything from this man and this book, it should be that he arose above all the failures and negative spears that life threw at him and so can you. And this book is exactly the thing one needs to get a real life view at how to express oneself in a lighter more positive way through the use of prose; instead of lashing out at the world whenever we are pushed against the wall of indifference and cast down and rejected. This book is not just only his special collection of prose but, it also reveals to us that there is always hope if you believe in yourself and have the faith to rise above the worst that life can throw at us. Sometimes, life can get the best of us when bad things happen and while some decide to withdraw or even to rebel; still others choose to shine. To bring to light that inner masterpiece hidden and waiting for the light of a new dawn to help enlighten us, with their unique wisdom. John R Hernandez, Jr. chose to tell the world what is in his heart, not something easily revealed. Yet, for this master of romantic prose it came easy to unravel the confining weeds that often tear us apart and refuse to let us breathe and rise from the ashes of our own individual failures. The book is a poetic expression taken from a lifetime of experiences, relationships and heartbreaks, which, have helped to spark the roots that have come to be known as In The Birth Of A New Dawn. The secret to this title is about going from the eve of heartbreak and loss -which many of us eventually must face if we are human- to facing the blinding light of reality and a new day. Its one man’s fearless English and Spanish compilation of prose that will help others close the door to the storms that rage on in the past. It is about learning to take the first steps to turning the page towards the next chapter of life, courageously. New dawn is about realizing that only you can change tomorrow.

Reviews for In the Birth of a New Dawn

[John R. Hernandez, Jr. · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

"Some people write prose/poetry simply for the notoriety and financial rewards; they don't really feel the words or events they are portraying, in their hearts. That is a bland form of art, one which not only suffocates the true meaning of it but, it entangles the reader into believing in an intangible and abstract illusion. There is a lot more to the writing of prose/poetry than one that is aimed not at the reader. But, at some distant reward apart from the true divine meaning, of an ages old art, spoken only by the chosen who can comprehend its wisdom. In this writing you will find not only wisdom but, a heart that speaks to yours, if only you will listen. As you travel deeper into the depths of each and every word of this fine poetic masterpiece you will find it speaking to you." JRH-2014 NDMH
