OverviewRay Gonzalez's sweeping Cabato Sentora takes the reader to the heart of the Chicano/American Southwest experience. Evoking magical realism in the tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gonzalez writes of the successes and losses of the materially-poor, spiritually-rich Chicano townspeople and Mexico's native Yaqui tribe. The result is a new mythology, one that honors gourds, beans, guitars, fingernails, adobes, arroyos and mesas, even the head of Pancho Villa.

Table of ContentsReviews"""In this new collection, Ray Gonzalez locates the driven passion of poetry within his family, his ancestors, his people and their stories' root mysteries ... CABATO SENTORA is at once a ramifying and fulfilling book."" - William Heyen. ""There is the voice of confinement in the pinecone, / a prism of laughter hiding in one shoulder, / mistaking the naked back for the need to run."" (""There""). ""Ray Gonzalez firmly opposes the Romantic and Symbolist dualism between I and the other, self and world. For Gonzalez, the landscape is not external to himself, nor is the past cut off from the present. His work, then is insistently political, suggesting responsibilities, even when its ostensible subject matter is dream or art. When Gonzalez makes his cabato, like 'the first man / who tied anything together, ' it is language that he crosses with spirit."" -- Forest Gander" Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
