    About this ebook

    Dive into the Antipoetic Realm

    Dr. Ruben Gonzalez uses antipoetic devices in his poems of the modern world. These poems
    break all the traditional rules of poetry. The raw and simple language of these poems offer a
    New Voice that is at times sarcastic and at times humorous, but always fresh.

    Here are a few tempting sample lines from some of the poetic offerings in this book:
    Today I am the King of my world: The remote is in my hand!
    Tomorrow will be another chance to change the world.
    All politicians have to be crooks and liars.
    Take it for granted that you will go to hell.

    Do not be afraid to dive into these mischievous poems found only in the Antipoetic World!

    Ruben Gonzalez PhD

    Dr. Ruben Gonzalez, PhD has always used poetry to express himself and comment on life events. His poems are not about romance but about our chaotic world. These verses will challenge the reader to realize that poetry offers us a different way to examine the world. Ruben Gonzalez finds his inspiration in everyday events but his poems always have a twist. He has studied the poetry of Nicanor Parra and the work of this Antipoet motivated Ruben to use a genre of poetry which makes the reader laugh and enjoy the sarcasm. Today, Dr. Gonzalez teaches languages and literature at Alabama State University. He continues to write poetry almost every day and often presents his original compositions at poetry readings and conferences throughout the country.
