NOTEBOOKS OF A CHILE VERDE SMUGGLER.

Edition: First printing, a trade paperback original.

Tucson: University of Arizona Press, (2002). SIGNED first edition - A work by this US poet laureate which defies characterization .

Pushing forms to the edge of possibility while forcing readers to rethink reality as well as language, Herrera invokes childhoods and neighborhoods, stand-up clowns and Movimiento gypsies, grandmothers of the bunuelo kitchen and tragicomic soliloquies of dizzy-headed outcasts of paradise." SIGNED and dated on the title page. In 2024, he received the MacArthur "genius award." 186 pp. plus 4 photographs. ISBN: 0816522154.
