Collected Poems (Paperback)

This edition brings together the poems of the political turbulence of the 1970s, first published in "Score" in 1972, the confessional poems in the persona of a Caribbean Don Juan in "The Lovesong of Boysie B. and Other Poems" (1974), the first "Collected Poems" (1969-1979), to the later poems that begin a journey of spiritual exploration: "Postcards and Haiku" (1984), "Moksha: Poems of Light and Sound" (1988) and "Merry-go-round and Other Poems" (1992). The poems, whether those of social observation, of love, grief, family or spirit, show Anson Gonzalez to be a writer whose finger has always been on the pulse both of the state of the nation and the state of the inner man.
