Winner of the 2022 International Latino Book Award: Bronze Medal
for Fiction Translation, Spanish to English El feliz ingenio
neomexicano is a bilingual recovery edition of Obras de Felipe
Maximiliano Chacón, el Cantor Neomexicano: Poesía y prosa, the
first collection of poetry published by a Mexican American author.
Journalist and author Felipe M. Chacón, part of a distinguished
and active family of nuevomexicano authors, published the book in
1924. El feliz ingenio neomexicano (that "inspired New Mexican
wit") reestablishes Chacón's work and his reputation by making the
text widely available to readers for the first time in nearly a
century. With Nogar and Meléndez's excellent translation of the
text, this bilingual volume offers access to both English and
Spanish editions for scholars and students from a variety of
disciplines. Additionally, the in-depth introduction and appendix
materials gathered by the editors place Chacón's book in the
context of the time in which it was printed, offering a unique
insight into the work. A welcome volume for scholars and literature
lovers alike, El feliz ingenio neomexicano is a groundbreaking work
of literary recuperation.
