Often political, never fainthearted, his career has been marked by tremendous virtuosity and a unique sensibility for uncovering the unknown and the unexpected. Through a variety of stages and transformations, Herrera has evolved more than almost any other Chicano poet, always re-inventing himself into a more mature and seasoned voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, in this unprecedented collection, we encounter the trajectory of this highly innovative and original writer, bringing the full scope of his singular vision into view. Beginning with early material from \u003ci\u003eA Certain Man\u003c\/i\u003e, the volume moves through thirteen of Herrera's collections into new, previously unpublished work. Serious scholars and readers alike will now have available to them a representative set of glimpses into his production as well as his origins and personal development. The ultimate value of bringing together such a collection, however, is that it will allow us to better understand and appreciate the complexity of what this major American poet is all about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816527038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.05w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Critics Circle Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/10\/2008 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/17\/2008 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2008 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2009 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Juan Felipe Herrera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378266800309,"sku":"9780816527038","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bd35e3eb-6b8d-47de-87db-10bd3dc17d6d.jpg?v=1701752004","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/half-of-the-world-in-light-new-and-selected-poems-with-cd-9780816527038","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
