Xicano Duende A Select Anthology
by Alurista
Released: 2011
Xicano Duende: A Select Anthology commemorates the prolific career of one of Chicano literature’s most enduring poetic voices. The anthology, which includes selections from Alurista’s recent collection Tunaluna (Aztlan Libre Press, 2010) and three earlier volumes, chronicles and poet’s writings in a voice that ranges from scathing social and political criticism to erotic and provocative verse to whimsical wordplay. Through it all, Alurista reveals the struggle and history of his life and Chicano heritage in language that inflames and inspires.
