In Feel Puma, 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. Woven over three sections, this unique collection is a complex and gorgeous dive into creativity and the inner life of a poet at the height of his craft.
Ray Gonzalez is the author of numerous books of poetry including The Heat of Arrivals, The Hawk Temple at Tierra Grande, and Soul Over Lightning. He is the recipient of many awards including the PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Book Award, the Latino Heritage Award, and the Minnesota Book Award. He lives in Farmington, Minnesota, and is a professor of literature at the University of Minnesota.
Gonzalez is a serious and seriously accomplished poet whose meditations on history--the history of literature, violence, art, our nation--are profound, intelligent, and moving. He is also a poet deeply attuned to the vast literary conversation around him, a conversation that moves and transforms with history, a conversation that lives in these poems."--Kevin Prufer, author of How He Loved Them "Ray Gonzalez knows how to draw a poem back and forth like a bird makes a calligraphy of the air or a rattlesnake spirals the dust. He knows how to dream a poem so real it feels like truth is a vortex and all the lines are drawing you into this other, deeper world he has called forth."--Kathryn Nuernberger, author of Rag & Bone: Poems "Part mystic, part maestro--all master of language--Gonzalez has illuminated the sacredness of the world we stumble through. Feel Puma is steeped in Gonzalez's voracious intellect--his kaleidoscopic knowledge of literature and history--but this book is beautifully steeled by his uncanny ability to see what no one else can."--Alex Lemon, author of Another Last Day: Poems
