New and Selected Poems 1965-2000
VICTOR HERNÁNDEZ CRUZ
Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize finalist
Griffin Poetry Prize finalist An
impressive and essential collection spanning the breadth
of over 30 years from one of America's most exhilarating
poets.
Victor
Hernández Cruz was born in Puerto Rico in 1949
and has lived in the U. S. and abroad for many years.
In this critical collection featuring both Cruz's latest
and beloved poems, tropical and urban vistas inform
a body of work that has dazzled readers since a twenty-year-old
Cruz exploded onto the national scene in the 1960s.
Cruz
pioneered the use of "Spanglish" in contemporary
literature, and his appearance on the Bill Moyers's Language of Life PBS series has cemented his reputation
as one of the significant and original poets of our
time.
