“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 “Cisneros is a writer for all people.” —USA Today“Here the young voice of Esperanza of The House on Mango Street merges with that of the grown woman/poet.

It is rich with music and picture.” — Gwendolyn Brooks
