  John Martinez is a poet, musician, and activist who holds down a day job as an administrator for a Los Angeles law firm.  After decades of writing poetry, Martinez produced his first collection, "A Tale of Submission."  He explains why it took so long to get the book published, and why the wait was worth it in order to put a life's worth of experience into words.
