Alurista

1997 American Book Award Before Columbus Foundation

Known primarily for his poetry of social protest, Chicano poet Alurista moves in a new direction in Z Eros, which includes both erotic and political poetry. Moving rapidly between Spanish and English, he introduces readers to a language and a world that exists somewhere between the two cultures and voices. About half of this book is in English and the rest in Spanish.

"Through his creativeness and sensitivity Alurista has established a poetic legacy that mirrors the struggle and the hope of the Chicanos." ¨ Guillermo Rojas, Chicano Literature (1971). .
