At its center, Duende de Burque is a love letter to Alburquerque
and its surroundings--the Sandia Mountains, the Rio Grande Bosque,
and all the people whose spirits fill these spaces. It is an
exploration of one poet's search for duende, that elusive state of
spontaneous expression and authenticity. With a debut in local
poetry slam, Manuel Gonzalez has honed his craft on the stage and
on the page for the past twenty years. He has represented Burque
several times on the national slam scene, hosted countless slams
for people of all ages, and worked to help adults and youths
discover the power of self-expression. In this collection, Gonzalez
writes about his beginnings as a poet and his work as the third
Albuquerque Poet Laureate. He writes about what inspires him and
how he works to inspire others and to craft poems that do the same.
In his core is Burque--his heart, his sangre, and the home of his
ancestors.
