Title: Bravo!
Review: I have been teaching Chicana and Latina Literature for nearly twenty years. No one dunks that ball each and each time with my students as this prolific, immensely intelligent, politically committed and talented writer. Whether it is a tale about the Southwest, expounding on the specificity of being a brown woman in the U.S. or teaching us how to love ourselves as a people, she does it all with the ease of the master craftsperson that she has become. My favorite poems in this collection were: 1. Without question the most poignant love poem I've read in a long time, "I Ask the Impossible, 2. A poem for her son, which shows her trademark sense of humor, "El Chicle,"; and the eerily prophetic, "While I Was Gone a War Began," (in this one she foresaw the plane hijackings by Bin Laden 4 years before they happened!) among several others. I look forward to sharing her next collection with my future students.
