Luis Omar Salinas (1937–2008) was a leading Chicano poet[1] who published a number of well-received collections of poetry, including the Crazy Gypsy, which has been described as "a classic of contemporary and Chicano poetry",[2] I Go Dreaming Serenades, and Afternoon of The Unreal. He was awarded the Stanley Kunitz award by Columbia Magazine for one of his poems, and a General Electric Foundation Award. Salinas is regarded as "one of the founding fathers of Chicano poetry in America,"[3] with many of his poems being "canonized in U.S. Hispanic literature."[4]
