About This Item
New York:: Grove Press,, (2001.). SIGNED -. Fine in illustrated wrappers.. Third printing, a trade paperback original. "A series of small poems divided among five books, it explores the history of love in the poet's personal relationships: in (and not in) his childhood community, his mother and brother, women taken as lovers, and the first woman with whom he found love. Heavy with metaphor throughout, the "Healing" in the title no doubt resonates with the poem's epicenter: the falling in and falling out of love with his wife, a process steeped in contradictions as much as self-indulgence. The poems, correspondingly, are intensely personal, contradictory and completely forthcoming." (Publisher's Weekly) Born in New Mexico, of Chicano and Apache heritage, Baca was a runaway at 13, in prison at 21, and all of his poetry is written out of deep personal knowledge. SIGNED and dated on the first page. 338 pp.
