The Person
Manazar Gamboa was a local area poet.
Gamboa died Dec. 13 at a Long Beach hospice from complications of liver and heart failure. He was 66.

From his 1/7/2001 Los Angeles Times obituary (visit link) :
"Manazar Gamboa, a convict-turned-poet who devoted his life after prison to writing and sharing the liberating power of literature with others from troubled backgrounds, has died.
An important Los Angeles poet who began writing about the urban Chicano experience before it was fashionable, Gamboa led Beyond Baroque, the Venice literary center, in the late 1970s and was published in such respected magazines as the Chicago Review."
