Touching The Fire

As the new century approaches, Latino poetry is in the midst of its most vital and productive period. Work by Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban-Americans has changed the course of contemporary American writing forever. Rather than introducing as many voices as possible, "Touching the Fire" sets itself apart by introducing only 15 of the most seminal voices--but as deeply as possible. 256 pp. Targeted publicity. 10,000 print.
