Reyes Cardenas: Chicano Poet 1970–2010
Publication: San Antonio, TX: Aztlan Libre Press, 2013. First Edition.
Notes: An inscribed copy of this collection of nearly 400 poems spanning 40 years from a working class Texas Chicano (tejano) poet.
370 pages.
Edition + Condition: Stated first edition but this is possibly a second printing. The two versions are distinguished by the covers; this is cardstock; the first is thin paper. The two books also use different paper stocks. This copy bulks 7/8-inch high; the presumed first printing is just 3/4-inch thick. Light shelfwear to covers, thus not quite fine. This copy is inscribed, "To a fellow poet Joseph Trombatore. Reyes Cardenas."
