Carmen Tafolla's New and Selected Poems continues TCU Press's
series of collections by the Poets Laureate of Texas. Named the
first-ever Poet Laureate of San Antonio in 2012, Tafolla was named
Poet Laureate of Texas in 2015. This collection displays her
mastery of the art of bilingual code switching, mining the riches
of two languages-Spanish and English-to produce works that
celebrate the beauty and vigor of a Hispanic heritage that has
enriched American culture for generations. Called "a world-class
writer" by Alex Haley and a "pioneer of Chicana literature" by Ana
Castillo, in 1999 Tafolla was presented with the Art of Peace Award
for writings that contribute to "peace, justice, and human
understanding." Her works "thematically cross cultures and move
into questions of human survival on this earth"-Dr. Wolfgang
Karrer.
