An ascetic romantic, John Patrick Acevedo began his quest for God and love while he was a freshman at Clemson University. As he showed up rather nervously to his very first college course, he was quite stunned to see a beautiful professor, Amanda Dyer, who would prove to be instrumental to his writing. During his sophomore year at Boston University, he started to “write poetry that was exactly the same as the Holy Bible.” It was only after graduating after Boston, however, that he committed to writing poetry. In 1995, he began a twenty-year career in Best Buy, becoming a top-margin producer across all its departments as he continued his love of poetry. His family is originally from Lares, Puerto Rico. His grandfather, a Trump-like salesman, and his father, John Acevedo Maldonado, who was a loyal MIT student of physics, inspired the author at a young age. Acevedo went to accompany his father almost every other year to MIT’s Annual Weekends. His father died in an unfortunate cardiac arrest in one of the leadership conferences at MIT, a day after saying in a final text to his son, “All is well.” Since Acevedo did not want to die when he lost his father, from 2014 onward, he went on to publish five more books, launch his own web page, and shoot several video poems shared on YouTube. He continues to find a degree of sadness and a degree of bliss as he explores his own writing.
John Patrick Acevedo introduced Maryland to his theme of “give and take” (book of Job, Old Testament) while a regular at poetry open mics, among them The Mariposa Center for Creative Expression (February, 2003), where he was first featured with his book entitled Everlasting Chemistry. He remembers the event rather fondly, explaining his need to engage the audience by listening to an audio cassette in his car while driving so as to know his poem selections like the back of his hand, laughing as he recounts quickly praying to God for balance even as he stood up at the very end of his delivery as the podium his work rested upon was on a wooden floor sprucing a microphone cord and a crowded stool. “My poetry had initially bookended many Facebook texts to a friend from 2010 to 2012. Bad Technology and Poor Weather: The Outsider Stories of the Poetry of John Patrick Acevedo seemed to simply complement the physical stress of my getting numbers for Best Buy, especially on the last days of every month. These were the happiest days of my life. I really got a rush from beating my own number 1s that won me two Brad Anderson Legacy Stock Awards from the retail giant” (John Patrick Acevedo, poet, November 2, 2018, 10:10 p.m., Columbia, Maryland).
“If you want to be the man of your good old days, your life can’t ease in haste or love dancing back in time forever though. Because a rabbit is not Easter, there are no politics to John Patrick’s poetry except the misconception that weakness draws pathos, or even dogmatic logos, instead of ethos. Because autonomous strength almost always ends with someone having to say ‘no hard feelings’ instead of placing more value on the fact that meaningful talk is often pathos and, hence, logos or politically derived conversation. Acevedo wants his readers to feel his joys and sorrows, not to simply translate them into pity or envy” (John Patrick Acevedo; Hampton, Virginia).

Manteo, NC—An ascetic romantic, John Patrick Acevedo began his quest for God and love while he was a freshman at Clemson University. As he showed up rather nervously to his very first college course, he was quite stunned to see a beautiful professor, Amanda Dyer, who would prove to be instrumental to his writing. During his sophomore year at Boston University, he started to “write poetry that was exactly the same as the Holy Bible.” It was only after graduating after Boston, however, that he committed to writing poetry. In his latest installment of poetry in Healing w/o Patient Suffering (for Virginal Sole Distinction): More Ethos by John Patrick (published by Xlibris), Acevedo discusses the spirit or karma from an animal magnetic dimension of human nature and how it is actually the passion of the sociological aspects of autonomy and choice. “These are original poetry with innovative ideas that have a lyrical style of my own. My poetry book is romantic, aesthetically spiritual, and quite emotionally moving. Its overall theme is that weakness is fundamentally seen as pathos or logos, when in actuality, it is an ethos,” Acevedo says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from his writing of the book, Acevedo says, “That life is brief and that it is all about what you put into it.” Of the eighty-six poems in the book, most have appeared in the previous Synergy Press (synergy-press.org) books he published between 2012 and 2018. “Healing w/o Patient Suffering (for Virginal Sole Distinction): More Ethos by John Patrick” By John Patrick Acevedo Hardcover | 6 x 9in | 184 pages | ISBN 9781796023497 Softcover | 6 x 9in | 184 pages | ISBN 9781796023480 E-Book | 184 pages | ISBN 9781796023473 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Designed to give a general overview of policing in our society, with a new chapter added to reflect the increasing emphasis on policing and homeland security.
We are stronger alone rarely because only when we accept our differences, will others become weak out of anger for the collective progress that best serves the needs for mutual change. Yet usually individuals without hope feel that those who claim to be without hunger are weak to their desires for authority. This lack of hunger is what creates fragmentation within a diversified society. The hunger created from 'good works' is all about the ambiguous fear that walks the ambivalent line between faith and doubt. Yet good works tend to profit more from the inequity of cultural fragmentation than they do from the equity the individual creates from his realization of and desire for the autonomy his translations of purpose, justice, and hope can have upon individual or social authority. Acevedo writes for the worker, speaks of market as if it were a Godzilla for good work ethics. He makes life itself into a 'Lost Colony' from Manteo, North Carolina, love's radiations the stage for his revelations of true lies and unrequited love, where compromise is the metaphysics of acceptance and asceticism the journey for gnostic change.
