"El feliz ingenio neomexicano is a bilingual recovery edition of Obras de Felipe Maximiliano Chac�on, el Cantor Neomexicano: Poes�ia y prosa, the first collection of poetry published by a Mexican American author. Journalist and author Felipe M. Chac�on, 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 Chac�on's work and his reputation by making the text widely available to readers for the first time in nearly a century. With Nogar and Mel�endez'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 Chac�on'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"-- Provided by publisher.
