A14 year-old boy sits in the darkness of the Holiday Theater watching a scene of anti-Mexican racism in a Rock Hudson / Elizabeth Taylore movie. This scene, this memory, is at the heart of "Scene from the Movie GIANT, "a remarkable book-length poem in five parts by Tino Villanueva. Villanueva excavates the meaning of this scene and in doing so grapples with urgent questions of cultural identity."

As a Chicano writer working in Spanish, Tino Villanueva explores experience in the tongue that was the first European language spoken in and around his Texas homeland. Villanueva voices complex and compelling historical, literary, and cultural questions as impassioned personal utterances, investing this collection with intimacy and seriousness. His eloquent, elegant work portrays American realities absent from mainstream poetry.
