Summary:
"In Feel Puma, Gonzalez traces his love of reading, philosophy, and learning with poems constantly in conversation-with each other, with texts by other writers and the writers themselves, with world history and his personal history and people he has encountered. Woven over five sections, Feel Puma is a complex and gorgeous dive into creativity and the inner life of a poet at the height of his craft"-- Provided by publisher.
