These tropical and urban vistas have informed a body of work that has dazzled readers since a twenty-year-old Cruz exploded onto the national scene with \u003ci\u003eSnaps\u003c\/i\u003e (Random House). Cruz has become an important exponent of the use of \"Spanglish\" in contemporary literature, and his appearance on the Bill Moyers's \u003ci\u003eLanguage of Life \u003c\/i\u003ePBS series has cemented his reputation as one of the significant poets of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso Available by Victor Hernández Cruz: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanaramas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePB $12.95, 1-56689-066-7 - CUSA\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Beans and Rice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePB $12.95, 0-918273-91-9 - CUSA\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.99 x 9.98 x 7.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize (2002)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53511883882803,"sku":"9781566891226","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/OQTITDhhwK9781566891226.webp?v=1781780336","url":"https:\/\/rbangel-store.myshopify.com\/products\/maraca-new-selected-poems-1966-2000-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
