Summary:

The author served as a central figure in the flourishing of artistic creativity in the late '60s and '70s known as the Chicano Movement. This bilingual volume offers works from thirteen short-run chapbooks that he distributed among friends, and includes his gifts to all lovers of poetry: surrealism and social commitment united, joy in poetic discovery, explorations of the terrain between two languages, and an embrace of all people, all cultures, and their creative visions.
