%0 Journal Article %T Entre la poes¨Şa y la m¨²sica: Victor Hern¨˘ndez Cruz y el mapa musical nuyorican %A Francisco Cabanillas %J Centro Journal %D 2004 %I %X This paper argues that, in the context of Nuyorican poetry in the 1960s and 1970s, Victor Hern¨˘ndez Cruz s Snaps (1968) stands as the only poetry collection to engage in a dynamic dialogue with the popular music that so heavily influenced the Nuyorican experience of that era. Hern¨˘ndez Cruz s dynamism had a founding spirit; aside from endorsing the latin bugal¨², it contains the seed for what latin jazz will make into a tradition: the Caribbeanization of TheloniousMonk. %U http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37716203
