Title: Chicano timespace
Description: "While he lived, critics showed reluctance to engage fully the work of Ricardo Sanchez, perhaps in part because of his reputation as an iconoclastic, confrontational, even outrageous individual. Focusing on Canto y grito mi liberacion and Hechizospells, Miguel R. Lopez explicates his work and places Sanchez in the context of Chicano literature - past, present, and future.

He explains clearly the relation of time and space in Sanchez's prolific work and shows him as a writer committed to his craft as well as to his political stance. In the end, the portrait that emerges is of a poet whose work was as linguistically and thematically complex as any and one who was more passionate, controversial, and forthright in his expression than any other contemporary Chicano writer."--BOOK JACKET.
