...But My Friends Call Me Burque | Manuel Gonzalez

2 posts

"Manuel Gonzalez's poetry is authentic, genuine, revolutionary, and infused with the vibrant fire-language of the Mexica. A native Burqueno, his voice rings true with the cuentos of our sacred lands, the water-rush of our rivers, and the magnanimous love for our mountains. Manuel is his poetry and his poetry is a reflection of the myriad of voices that are New Mexico. His writing is a vital contribution to the literary dialogue of the Chicano experience, but most of all, he is good gente and this is one damn firme book." Jessica Helen Lopez Albuquerque Poet Laureate author of Always Messing with Them Boys"

...But My Friends Call Me Burque | Manuel Gonzalez

1. There are many places I love to visit but my family roots are so imbedded in New Mexico that I always want to come back.
2. High of 87, low of 59 and ☀️
3. My high school boyfriend took me to a fancy restaurant for Valentines Day. He picked what he wanted then counted his money and said I could pick something that costed x amount. Needless to say he got a nice surf and turf while I got a salad. 😡
4. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐶🐱🐟

...But My Friends Call Me Burque | Manuel Gonzalez

Some conference poetry from the 2016 Albuquerque Poet Laureate Manuel González. His goal is to "get kids in the library" because when he was growing up the library was his personal refuge.

Readingrobin Nice! Sounds like a cool event! 7y

LibrarianJen @Readingrobin eh it's a conference so it's meh. But it is an important one with important topics being discussed so I'm glad to be here. 7y
