AUTHOR
SUMMARY
A romantic and a populist, Jimmy Santiago Baca celebrates nature and creativity: the power of "becoming more the river than myself" in Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande. These poems are an expansive meditation on Baca's spiritual life, punctuated always with his feet--repeatedly, rhythmically--on the ground as he runs every morning along the river. Baca contemplates his old life, his new love, his family and friends, those living and those dead, injustices and victories, and Chicano culture. As Denise Levertov remarked, Baca "writes with unconcealed passion" and "manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythical and archetypal significance of life events."Santiago Baca, Jimmy is the author of 'Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande', published 2004 under ISBN 9780811215756 and ISBN 081121575X.
