By Sandra CisnerosPublisher Description

“Not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review
“All poets would do well to follow the example of Sandra Cisneros, who takes no prisoners and has not made a single compromise in her language.” — Barbara Kingsolver, Los Angeles Times

“This was probably the most fun of the (now) three collections I’ve read from Cisneros (though, not my favorite—“My Wicked Wicked Ways” is tough to beat). Her language is sharp, as is her humor. These poems jump off the page and, I think, would probably be even better performed live. Cisneros has a poetic voice all her own.”

“I’m a woman delighted with her disasters.
They give me something to do.
A deeply personal, erotic, playful, mournful collection of poetry. You can tell how fiercely and how intensely Cisneros feels.”
