So Often the Pitcher Goes to Water Until It Breaks: Poems (National Poetry Series Books)

by Rigoberto Gonzalez

So Often the Pitcher Goes to Water Until It Breaks: Poems (National Poetry Series Books) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An astonishing new talent, Rigoberto Gonzalez writes with a clarity of the senses that pulls the reader into a marvelous and unfamiliar world. The sidewalk preacher, the umbrella salesman, the nurse on the graveyard shift, the professional mourner — all allow Gonzalez a clandestine glimpse of their lives. Crackling with the dry electricity of the desert and flashing with the brilliant colon of Mexico, Gonzalez's poems are rooted in the fertile soil beneath poverty's dust, the borders violence, and longing's desolation.
