Ray Gonzalez reads from "Faith Run" and "Cool Auditor".

Local award-winning poet and University of Minnesota professor Ray Gonzalez will discuss his new poetry books “Faith Run” and “Cool Auditor” at the University of Minnesota Bookstore at Coffman Memorial Union located at 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis on Wednesday, November 11 at 4:00 p.m. Gonzalez captures the mystery and divinity of our human lives in “Faith Run”. His poetry creates a new world out of the world we think we know. Through his poems, the personal suddenly becomes the cosmic, the mundane unexpectedly becomes the sublime. In his newest work, “Cool Auditor”, Gonzalez creates his own brand of magical realism by bringing pop humor into poetry. Discover how almost every sentence talks about the true (and not so true) lives of rock stars. Gonzalez will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html. (UMNBookstore)… (more)
