Jimmy Santiago Baca \"writes with unconcealed passion,\" Denise Levertov states in her introduction, \"but he is far from being a naive realist; what makes his writing so exciting to me is the way in which it manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythic and archetypal significance of life-events.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Martín and Meditations on the South Valley: Poems | Jimmy Santiago Baca | Paperback | 9780811210324 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1641748","offer_id":50707063406850,"sku":"1641748","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Martín and Meditations on the South Valley: Poems | Jimmy Santiago Baca | Paperback | 9780811210324 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1670201","offer_id":50789361680642,"sku":"1670201","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71DuFF17h6L.jpg?v=1791688146","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/martin-and-meditations-on-the-south-valley-poems","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
