RUMINS: PROSE POEMS by Ray Gonzalez

'The last embrace you gave your father is still there. 
He has been missing for 30 years'

The work of award-winning poet and editor Ray Gonzalez is inextricably linked to his Mexican ancestry and his American southwestern upbringing. Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, Gonzalez has employed Chicano imagery in his poetry, oftentimes alluding to America's indigenous past, and particularly to the southwestern desert cultures.
