As a person who likes to dream and think of making my dreams come true, I believe that I qualify as a writer due to the feedback that my critics gave to me after reading and analyzing my songs, philosophical comments, the recognition, and registered works in the mentioned institutions from as far back as the March 8, 1999. The Verb, Nature, and the word of GOD are beautiful things to write about.
To intellectually describe what I perceive via all of my senses and to be able to transcribe it to the written word, qualifies my person as a writer.
Born in the United States Virgin Islands to Puerto Rican parents Anna Gautier of Vieques and Antonio Vega (deceased) of Culebras Puerto Rico, I am honored to be of the bloodline of Jose Gautier Benitez, the 1st poet recognized by the Government of Puerto Rico in May 31, 1879 when he won with his Poem Puerto Rico in an Association of Literature De Ateneo.

A former law enforcement officer, sculptor, visual artist who's paintings portray The Christ, lyricist of Salsa, Blues, Gospel, and other styles of music in English and Spanish, I, Edwin as my ancestor Jose Gautier Benitez did, also writes to Puerto Rico with all my heart, re: Puerto Rico of my soul, of my bloodline, of my fathers, today your a son a Gautier I asks of you, that to your beaches, you permit me to return.
