His vision of the natural world, human relationships, and the difficulties of language reveals itself in memorable and surprising ways in every poem. Loose and circumfluent, this collection of prose poems employs rich imagery and repetition of phrase and sound to create a seemingly-effortless incantatory power. Humor also plays a large role in these prose poems. His rollicking poem \"Affordable Aphorisms\" features many bright, humorous insights, including \"If you had a normal childhood, your biographers will label it The Age of Reason.\" and \"To exile yourself in writing is to wear the wrong deodorant for years.\" However, this levity is always counter-balanced by his deep empathy with his subjects, with animals, humans, and their surroundings. Ray Gonzalez's poetry reminds us that the mysteries of the everyday may not be solved, but through the careful use of syllable and silence they might reveal, if only momentarily, their totemic power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRay Gonzalez has authored numerous books of poetry, non-fiction, and fiction, and edited twelve anthologies.
