Tomas Rivera: Predominant Theme

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The multitude of literary works by Tomas Rivera is indicative of the prolific writer's inherent ability to pursue some of life's most complex of concepts. Characteristically reminiscent of the author's desire to expose the myriad inadequacies of social responsibility, Rivera's work is instrumental in placing humanity's struggles into the mainstream of everyone's consciousness. Such compositions as the famous 'And The Earth Did Not Devour Him,' along with shorter poetic works 'Alone,' 'Awakening,' 'Do Not Forget Me,' 'Finally Life Began' and 'My Life,' Rivera appeals to the innermost recesses of the reader's soul. The writer discusses how the author has a long history of reaching out and inviting his audience to experience with him the sometimes intense and often expansive sense of being that is clearly portrayed within his works. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
