Contact Special CollectionsCollection Summary:
The collection numbers 16 boxes and spans the time period from ca. 1950 to 2010. The collection consists of printed materials; video and audiotapes; computer discs; photographs; awards; and realia. The written materials include correspondence (personal, reader response and business,) published and unpublished poetry and short story drafts and manuscripts written by Sanchez and other authors and poets; articles and essays; course materials; and business records. Among the unpublished manuscripts is a 2002 work titled “¡La Pinche Muerte! Death is Not Easy.” Some correspondence, poetry and short story drafts are holographic and typescripts, but most are computer generated documents. Much of the collection consists of his published articles and essays, with original and draft copies. His celebrated poem “Why Am I So Brown?” figures prominently in correspondence. He corresponded with other notable poets such as raulrsalinas (Raul Salinas), Rene Saldaña, Jr., Lalo (Abelardo) Delgado and children’s book author/illustrator Xavier Garza. Notable author files/names include Gloria Anzaldua, Diane Gonzales Bertrand. Most of these letters, emails, cards, etc. can be found in boxes 1 and 2.
This collection is part of the José Treviño Chicano/Latino Activism Collections at MSU.
Historical Background:
Trinidad Sanchez, Jr. was an award winning poet and author of five books, a lecturer and community activist. He mentored poets of all ages from elementary school students to adults throughout the country in particular the states of Michigan, Texas and Colorado. He belonged to a broad and diverse poet community. Sanchez was born in Pontiac Michigan, attended Catholic schools and the seminary and was a Jesuit brother for over 25 years. After leaving the seminary, Sanchez continued his work in prison ministry. His close relationship to his father was an essential reason for his advocacy work with fatherhood projects. The topics of his poetry included fatherhood, youth, food, culture and the erotic. His acclaimed style and poetry within the poetry community, garnered artist-in-residence projects in school districts across the country in particular the states of Michigan, Texas and Colorado. He was highly respected in the arts and with the Mexican American community and has two poetry festivals named in his honor (Detroit, Michigan and San Antonio Texas.) Sanchez received the President’s Peace Commission Award from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas posthumously in 2007.
The collection reflects these aspects of Sanchez’s life. Also included in the collection are draft manuscripts of unpublished work by Sanchez and poets who sent him work for review and comment. Among the manuscripts are poems written by his uncle and his father who co-authored a book of poems early in Sanchez’s career.
A number of book and serial titles were removed from the papers, catalogued and added to the collection. A partial list is included in box 2.
