A complete anthology of miguel's work slated for a spring '09 release.

Survival Supervivencia

Arte Publico Press, Houston, Texas (Spring 2009)

Miguel Algarin, literary mastermind, once again invites you to view the world through his personal memoir, juxtaposing happiness with sorrow. With an introduction by Ernesto Quionez, acclaimed writer of "Bodega Dreams", Survival Supervivencia spans Algarin's complete collection of published work over the past 35 years. Through raw prose and brutal honesty, Algarin's poetry takes the reader through an intimate, autobiographical journey that spans his entire life. From his introduction to writing and his insight on New York City life to memories and reflections on loved ones that have passed, Algarin leaves no stone unturned as he bears his soul for all. Survival Supervivencia is a historical tour de force of Algarin's life; public and private.
