Abstract

This essay attends to the poetry of Chicanx activist raúlrsalinas (1934–2008), specifically his most transgressive and innovative works which appear in A Trip Through the Mind Jail y Otras Excursions. I approach Salinas’s poetic works as textual events following Joseph Grigely’s reflections in Textualterity: Art, Theory and Textual Criticism where he conceives of texts as works in motion that frame the work of art as polytextual and comprised of multiple iterations.
