The premature death of Ricardo Sanchez in 1995 marked the passing
of an almost legendary figure in Chicano literature and in the
Chicano political movement. A troubadour of Chicano Movement
poetry, he established an anti-aesthetic that became the norm.
Sanchez's autobiographical poetry forges a link between genres of
the past and present and establishes him as the first great tragic
figure of contemporary Chicano literature.In a body of work that
spanned spatial, temporal, and cultural boundaries, Sanchez dealt
with issues of power and of linguistic and cultural barriers
between Anglo, Native American, and Mexican American peoples in the
United States.While he lived, critics showed reluctance to engage
Sanchez's work fully, perhaps in part because of his reputation as
a confrontational, even outrageous individual. Focusing on Canto y
grito mi liberacion and Hechizospells, Miguel R. Lopez examines
Sanchez's work and places him in the context of the past, present,
and future of Chicano literature. Lopez explains clearly the
relation of time and space in Sanchez's prolific work and shows him
as a writer committed to his craft as well as to his political
stance.In the end, the portrait that emerges is of a poet whose
work was linguistically and thematically complex and one who was
more passionate, controversial, and forthright in his expression
than any other contemporary Chicano writer.
