In his 10th book, renowned prose poet Gonzalez proclaims he
is at the crossroads in [his] throat where he looks both ways. Gonzalez is as
quirky as ever, matching the didactic tone and jargon of a scientist with the
sensibilities of artists like Kenneth Rexroth, Hart Crane and Picasso, among
others, who walk in and out of the poems." --Publishers Weekly Fusing the
real with the surreal and the natural world with human relationships, Ray
Gonzalez creates his own brand of magical realism. Gonzalez also brings pop
humour in such poems as "The Guitars," which uses the word "guitar" in almost
every sentence to talk about the true (and not so true) lives of rock stars.
David Lazar notes, "Ray Gonzalez may be our most essential prose poet." Ray
Gonzalez's awards include the 2003 Minnesota Literary Award for Poetry, and the
PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Book Award. He has published nine poetry
collections and edited twelve anthologies, including No Boundaries: Prose Poems
by 24 American Poets.
