Description: "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."--BOOK JACKET.
