(PRWEB) July 23, 2004 -- Urban Books & Surf Board Publishing is happy to release Mr. Joseph-J. Charles's second book, "California Blossoms and Harvest Delights." This is his second book exploring the theme of poetry of place in relation to California's production and transportation systems, life along the back roads of small cities and the importance of Highway 99, Sierra snowpack and waterways, diversity and ethnic contributions, car and beach culture, specific Valley landmarks, fruit, vegetable and foods etc.

In a few words, California Blossoms and Harvest Delights is an eclectic collection of poems and short essays about California's landscape, wine terroir, planting, blossom, and harvest seasons of the Central Valley, outdoors adventures, ethnic composition, impact and contributions of a diverse workforce.

Here's what some early readers are saying about it: "It's a snapshopt of a few great moments in the history of the Golden State. It's the work of a true observer who wants to interact with his surroundings. More than that, it shows how the Silicon Valley's boom is followed by the housing boom up and down the state and specially the Central Valley considered by many as the final frontier. The interior is truly absorbing the equity refugees and investors from the expensive, unaffordable Bay area region."

Farmers and long-time Valley residents summarize their observations this way: "Our hills and farmland are blooming with new houses and commercial buildings bordering fields of grazing cows...At the same time, after some bad harvests, banks are ready to repossess our lands. What should we do? Sell out to the developers and move out or stay put and hope for a better season? Our kids and grandkids may not be able to live around here any longer."
