Reading second will
be Rigoberto González,

00:00:03.250 --> 00:00:05.130 align:middle line:84%
who's the author of
two poetry books.

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:07.500 align:middle line:84%
I love this title,
So Often the Pitcher

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.980 align:middle line:90%
Goes to Water until It Breaks.

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:15.090 align:middle line:84%
That was selected by the
National Poetry Series in 1998.

00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:17.790 align:middle line:84%
And the other poetry
book is Other Fugitives

00:00:17.790 --> 00:00:18.750 align:middle line:90%
and Other Strangers.

00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:20.700 align:middle line:84%
I believe that's
from Tupelo Press.

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.790 align:middle line:84%
He's also the author of two
bilingual children's books,

00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:26.910 align:middle line:84%
Soledad Sigh-Sighs
and Antonio's Card,

00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:30.180 align:middle line:84%
the novel Crossing Vines,
a short story collection,

00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:33.720 align:middle line:84%
Men without Bliss, and
a memoir, Butterfly Boy.

00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:37.110 align:middle line:84%
And it so happens, as we're
celebrating the U of A Press,

00:00:37.110 --> 00:00:40.230 align:middle line:84%
to mention that he's also editor
of the University of Press'

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:44.410 align:middle line:84%
newly released Camino del Sol:
15 Years of Latina and Latino

00:00:44.410 --> 00:00:44.910 align:middle line:90%
Writing.

00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:46.920 align:middle line:84%
And Maria is, of course,
in this book as well.

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.330 align:middle line:90%
It's a great volume.

00:00:48.330 --> 00:00:51.360 align:middle line:84%
He's Associate Professor of
English at Rutgers University

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.360 align:middle line:90%
in New Jersey.

00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:54.840 align:middle line:84%
He read for the
Poetry Center in 1999.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.150 align:middle line:84%
And we're so pleased to
have him back with us today

00:00:57.150 --> 00:00:59.500 align:middle line:90%
in the Tucson Festival of Books.

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:00.000 align:middle line:90%
