Ernie R. Silva's Auto Biographical piece.

Here's what the critics are saying:

"Silva is a charismatic talent! I expect we'll be seeing more of Mr. Silva and this good solid monologue is a good place to get acquainted" -LA Weekly

"The sheer strength of will that it took for Silva to outstrip such negative indoctrination is inspiring" -LA Times

"Watching R. Ernie Silva in his autobiographical Heavy Like the Weight of a Flame is like listening to exquisite poetry, music both classical and jazz all wrapped in the true life experience of the urban jungles of New York" -LA Times Website Reader's Review

"The prose he uses has hints of slam poetry; The kind of verse that tells it like it is using hard phrases and meaning that sounds as if he means business--all without threats or snide meanings. Silva's talents shine throughout!" -Accessibly Live Offline

"Silva is a dynamic performer—lean, lithe, and athletic—and he calls upon all his skills in this outing. He sketches his characters with speed and accuracy, and displays a sassy manic wit in regaling us with his adventures"
- BackStage West

R. Ernie Silva's Heavy Like the Weight of a Flame -- is absolutely sensational. -ArtBeat Magazine, San Antonio Texas

"Silva's ability to wrap the universal into the individual, the cultural into the communal, is brilliant."
-Huffington Post
