It is a perplexing fact that few books are devoted exclusively to Chicana/o poets and with the collected volume Tino Villanueva: A Transnational Voice of In-Betweenness, we aim to fill that gap. Tino Villanueva, originally from Texas, has been a long-standing voice since the late l960s addressing various and interrelated Chicana/o concerns from servile social status to language discrimination, or from economic disadvantage to stereotypical representations. The Chicano poet stands out as someone who enjoyed few material privileges as an itinerant migrant, but who managed to make the most of what little he had, thus overcoming stark barriers and obstacles on the way toward recovering his Spanish language and eventually becoming a professor of Spanish at the university level. He became a fierce student of languages (Spanish and English) and literatures (Latin American, Spanish, American and British) which incited in him a new lyrical voice as a Chicano; that is, as someone who syncretically and harmoniously blended such codes in a path toward what he termed “bisensibility” (or bisensibilismo), which (as we will later explain) it is more appropriate to term “trisensibility.” His lyrical overtones are often mixed with a sense of social engagement in order to give order to his remembrances and clarity to appraise his social–historical relevance. His poetry tends to be crafted with precision and intuition, and it is definitely heartfelt. His extensive career spans seven decades, often exhibiting a global conscientiousness about an individual’s place of in-betweenness, while unlocking contradictions, human dilemmas and conditions for change.
