Editorial Reviews
Review
"liz gonzlez writes with the hand of an assemblage artist and the voice of a Neo-Frida Kahlo and a re-invented Dolores del Rio. Her poems become performance pieces, fractured cinemas from dreams and day-to-day enlightenments. She paints the body, the face and the broken column of the self. The poems are lunar and prismatic; they move from abstract investigations of surface, being and impermanence and on to the journals of the erotic, meditations of absence and the nerve matters of death and desire." -- Juan Felipe Herrera, poet

Beneath Bone is profound poetry,
This review is from: Beneath Bone (Paperback)
Beneath Bone offers readers a well crafted collection of poems of passion, laughter, struggle, resistance, and empowerment. gonzalez bravely and non-apologetically grapples with painful and taboo subject matter, weaving an often horrible reality with myth, arriving at a beautiful healing. gonzalez is destined to become a familiar name among poets.
