"In his 10th book, renowned prose poet Gonzalez proclaims heis at the crossroads in [his] throat where he looks both ways. Gonzalez is asquirky as ever, matching the didactic tone and jargon of a scientist with thesensibilities of artists like Kenneth Rexroth, Hart Crane and Picasso, amongothers, who walk in and out of the poems."" --Publishers Weekly Fusing thereal with the surreal and the natural world with human relationships, RayGonzalez creates his own brand of magical realism. Gonzalez also brings pophumour in such poems as ""The Guitars,"" which uses the word ""guitar"" in almostevery 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."" RayGonzalez's awards include the 2003 Minnesota Literary Award for Poetry, and thePEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Book Award. He has published nine poetrycollections and edited twelve anthologies, including No Boundaries: Prose Poemsby 24 American Poets."
