Soundings

"Here are the maps for a self of earth and cosmos interconnections, breath, existence and thought-for the new thinker, traveler, philosopher. Bravo, brava!"-Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States, Emeritus Soundings, the debut book of poetry by famed storyteller and musician David Gonzalez, is an eclectic collection that dives into five facets of his experience, each one adding a new layer of meaning and color: Nuyorican explores contemporary Latinx life; Rings of Fire, Ice and Jazz focuses on music and myth; Entanglement centers on science and wonder; Above, Below, In Between looks into the natural world; Back to the Beginning moves through birth, death, and redemption.
