For those familiar with Cisneros only from her acclaimed fiction, My Wicked Wicked Ways presents her in an entirely new light. And for readers everywhere, here is a showcase of one of our most powerful writers at her lyrical best.“Here the young voice of Esperanza of The House on Mango Street merges with that of the grown woman/poet.
