They are bound together by the voice of one woman, whose language spands cultures and continents. With a multiplicity of moods tumbling through its lines–joyous and introspective, tender and ruthless, self mocking and sincere, often funny and sometimes wild and ruse–Loose Woman offers intoxicating poems of extraordinary insight and vivid imagining. And what makes this particularly special audio is hearing the poems recited in the author’s own voice.Woman Hollering Creek and Other StoriesFrom the author of the widely acclaimed The House on Mango Street comes a story collection whose characters give voice to the vibrant and varied life on both sides of the Mexican border.
