Scarce Chicano / Mexican Poetry Chapbook

Personal Anthology / Antología personal [bound with] La ciudad y el viaje interminable (Antología personal 1980–2000) / The City and the Endless Journey (Personal Anthology 1980–2000)

Villanueva, Tino and Jorge Humberto Chávez

Publication: San Antonio, TX: Instituto de México, 2003. First Edition.

Notes: A scarce book pairing work by a Mexican American poet with a Mexican counterpart, inscribed by both authors.

Part of a literary series designed to create dialogue between writers from both sides of the border, this volume presents poems in both Spanish and English in parallel text format. The unusual dos-a-dos binding allows each poet's work to have its own front cover and section while sharing the same book. Institutional holdings are scarce, with OCLC recording only two copies worldwide, none in the United States.

75 and 83 pages.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A fine copy in wrappers, as issued. This copy is inscribed by both Villanueva and Chávez, as well as by Chávez's son.
