"To the Boy Who Was Night collects the poetry published by Rigoberto Gonzâalez since 1999, including selections from five previous books as well as new work. Mirroring Gonzâalez's personal trajectory, the arc of this work articulates the course of a life: these poems recall leaving a beloved homeland, confront masculinity and sexuality in new adulthood, imagine the earth devoid of human inhabitants, descend into the realm of ghosts, and return to arrive at Dispatches from the Broken World. This latest section ventures into foreign terrain -- an autobiographical confrontation with isolation and the aging body."--Publisher marketing.…mehr
