Jesse Mancíaz's collection "From Here To There And Back" features three short stories and a poem. His writing, described as Fictional Memoir, draws from his experiences as a field worker and Marine. The stories confront war horrors, post-traumatic stress, and injustices faced by Indigenous and Latin American people in the U.S. While addressing difficult themes, Jesse's work also conveys hope, advocating against war and for justice, liberty, healing, and peace.
