Bøger af Ray Gonzalez

When young Rick Augustine's parents are murdered, he and his two friends are thrown into a world of monsters and betrayal, a world that exists hidden in the shadows of the Natural world. This unique series is like Harry Potter via Stephen King. A thought-provoking and terrifying read where classic monsters inhabit the world of the Unnatural.

Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, Ray Gonzalez returns to Texas and nearby New Mexico to meditate on love, literature, loss, and la línea in Suggest Paradise. The collection offers readers some of the richest and most complex poems that embody the Southwest and the borderlands, including a poignant look at the massacre at the El Paso Walmart. A unique voice of the Southwest, Gonzalez brings his intellect and his well-honed craft to this work and offers readers a nuanced and powerful perspective on poetry and the Border.

Set in the desert Southwest, Beautiful Wall straddles current realities of immigration and border violence, and a beautiful, familial past.

Ray Gonzalez traces his love of reading, philosophy, and learning with poems constantly in conversation - with each other, with texts by other writers and the writers themselves, with world history and his personal history and people he has encountered.

A masterful collaboration between photographer Bruce Berman and poets Ray Gonzalez and Lawrence Welsh, Cutting the Wire offers us a way to look again, to really look, at the border between Mexico and the United States.

As we approach the new century, Latino poetry is in the midst of its most vital and productive period. Poetry by Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban Americans has changed the course of contemporary American writing forever.  And it has done this by emphasizing poetry as the sound of everyday life--showing readers and other writers that the most effective manner of preserving the traditions of a culture comes from the colorful language of daily experience.Touching the Fire recognizes the excitement of this movement by focusing on a few of its major poets, presenting a substantial portion of each poet''s work.  Some of these poets--Martin Espada, Lorna Dee Cervantes, and Victor Hernandez Vruz, for example--have been writing and publishing a long time.  Some are only starting their careers.  But they were all chosen because they best represent the strongest elements of modern Latino poetry--a confidence of language in its many forms, a gift for shattering emotional honesty, and an ear for the rhythms of a vibrant culture.Featuring the poetry of:Sandra M.
