Paperback, [PU: Arte Publico Press], Here is the long-awaited second edition of a pioneer work of Chicano literature, originally published as a collection in 1980 after individual poems by Salinas had appeared in numerous magazines, newspapers, and anthologies from the 1960s through the 1970s.These fifteen years of poetry forged in the heat of the Chicano Movement (a period Salinas spent, in part, in prison) reveal the growing politicization of intelligent and talented minority convicts incarcerated at a time when their communities were marching forward. As with Ricardo Sanchez and Jimmy Santiago Baca, prison bars were not strong enough to limit Salinas's highly lyric, even rhapsodic calls for liberation -- poems inspired by jazz, the Beat writers, nature, and political skirmishes.Un Trip through the Mind Jail will stand for generations as a seminal text of Chicano and U. S. minority literature., Poetry<

Un Trip through the Mind Jail stands as one of the seminal works of the modern-day Chicano literary movement. First published in 1980 and long out of print, it captures some twenty years of poetry (as well as prose and art) reflecting the political and cultural upheavals of America in the 1960s and 1970s - much of which time Salinas spend in prison. This idiosyncratic mixture of the political and the intensely personal makes Un Trip through the Mind Jail not only an authentic document of its time but a work of enduring impact. Books<
