About This Item
San Jose, CA: Mango Publications, 1981. First Edition. Trade paperback. Fine. A chapbook of poems published by the press run by Lorna Dee Cervantes with the help of Gary Soto. Salinas was one of a number of Chicano poets to come out of Fresno, California, in the 1970s.
Of all the small presses active in the 1970s and early 1980s, Mango Publications was one of the most interesting, both for the writers they published early in their careers (Jimmy Santiago Baca, Sandra Cisneros), but for their effective use of multilith printing in several colors. This book is printed in two colors for both the covers and text.
49 pages. One of a few hundred copies printed. First edition (stated). A fine copy in wrappers (paperback).
