Reading second will be Rigoberto González,
who's the author of two poetry books.
I love this title, So Often the Pitcher
Goes to Water until It Breaks.
That was selected by the National Poetry Series in 1998.
And the other poetry book is Other Fugitives
and Other Strangers.
I believe that's from Tupelo Press.
He's also the author of two bilingual children's books,
Soledad Sigh-Sighs and Antonio's Card,
the novel Crossing Vines, a short story collection,
Men without Bliss, and a memoir, Butterfly Boy.
And it so happens, as we're celebrating the U of A Press,
to mention that he's also editor of the University of Press'
newly released Camino del Sol: 15 Years of Latina and Latino
Writing.
And Maria is, of course, in this book as well.
It's a great volume.
He's Associate Professor of English at Rutgers University
in New Jersey.
He read for the Poetry Center in 1999.
And we're so pleased to have him back with us today
in the Tucson Festival of Books.
