    Victor D. Lopez
    I am a professor of legal studies, lawyer, and the author of law-related textbooks and scholarly articles published in academic peer-reviewed law journals and law reviews. Although my professional writing is almost exclusively non-fiction, I have been writing poetry and fiction throughout my life since my early teens, and have self-published two books of poetry and several books of short stories. Most recently, I published my first novel in eBook, soft cover, print, and audiobook editions in its original English and my Spanish translation.

In this space I'll post samples of my poetry and some links to readings of my poetry.

I've written poetry since before my teen years through today. Sonnets are my favorite form of poetry, but I write in a broad range of styles and on subjects that span the gamut of the pain and ecstasy that each of us faces as part of the human condition.As is true of my fiction,  I hope that you may find something it it that strikes a responsive chord in you, lets you see the world from a different perspective, and leaves you thinking.

I do not pay to advertise my work or for reviews (a common practice for independently published books), so I very much appreciate it when readers leave some feedback--positive or negative--or simply "like" my work. Nothing makes a writer feel more like the proverbial voice crying in the wilderness when she/he gets thousands of views of their work but hears only crickets when trying to determine whether it strikes the wished for responsive chord in any reader.

Thanks for reading!
