i started this in a bookstore and couldn't put it down.. there were so many poems in it that i could relate to... that sent me on a memory bliss.. meant to purchase it but never did.. i revisited the book in a future date and found the same poems no longer affected me the same way --- maybe i had healed??? quien sabe..

Wonderfully phrased poetry that comes from a Chicana (Mexican American Female) perspective. The voice resonates as frightening and powerful despite moments of weakness that are suffered by the characters.

recommends it for:
Chicana lit. readers; poetry readers
I had read quite a few of her individual poems before reading the entire volume. I didn't like this volume quite as much as I had expected to, but it's still excellent poetry.

Excellent collection of Ana's work. But beware half of the book is in spanish, so unless you know the language pick up a dictionary.
