Resistance and persistence collide in Alberto Rios's sixteenth book, Not Go Away Is My Name, a book about past and present, changing and unchanging, letting go and holding on. The borderline between Mexico and the U.S. looms large, and R os sheds light on and challenges our sensory experiences of everyday objects. At the same time, family memories and stories of the Sonoron desert weave throughout as R os travels in duality: between places, between times, and between lives. In searching for and treasuring what ought to be remembered, R os creates an ode to family life, love and community, and realizes "All I can do is not go away. / Not go away is my name."
Poet laureate of Arizona and a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, Alberto R?os is the author of eleven books of poetry. He is a National Book Award finalist, as well as a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Walt Whitman Award. His book The Theater of Night received the PEN/Beyond Margins Award. Published in the New Yorker, Paris Review, Ploughshares, and other journals, R?os has also written three short story collections and a memoir, Capirotada, about growing up on the Mexican border. R?os teaches at Arizona State University and is the host of a PBS program "Books & Co." He lives in Chandler, Arizona.
