Description
“Candelaria's first book of criticism is a welcome addition to a field that has previously been limited to two other books, Bruce Novoa's Chicano Poetry: A Response to Chaos and Marta Sanchez's Contemporary Chicano Poetry: A Critical Approach to an Emerging Literature. Although selected poems of Lorna Dee Cervantes, Alberto Rios, Gary Soto, Bernice Zamora, and others are discussed, the book focuses on the familiar poets of the early period of the Chicano literary movement of the 60s, show more Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzalez, Abelardo Delgado, Ricardo Sanchez, Alurista, and Raul Salinas. For the novice, the book provides a selected bibliography and a brief, four-page index of names and subjects ... as a research tool this book meets the needs of faculty and graduate students as well as those of undergraduates and the general reader concerned with American poetry.”– Choice show lessTags
