Salinas, has taken ill. I am therefore writing this letter in the hopes that you will consider naming a space within MACC to honor him while he is still with us.<BR/><BR/>I studied the work of Mr. Salinas when I was a student at UT, and was also honored to hear him read in Ft. Worth some years ago.<BR/><BR/>I believe that Mr. Salinas is an important Chicano poet. I also believe that he is an important American poet.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>B. Shumway<BR/><BR/>*************************<BR/><BR/>Pick up your pens, folks. Let's get these letters out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
