Sandra Cisneros is a well rounded author (books - House on Mango Street, poetry - My Wicked Wicked Ways, and memoir I reviewed - A House of My Own). She's back to poetry after twenty-eight years. Older, wiser, living in Mexico, reflecting on her ancestors, and humorously contemplating being a woman artist.
cover blurb Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. She explores the essential nature of love, memory, and desire.
I love Sandra Cisneros' humor and her obvious 'won't take crap in life' attitude. She's fearless and truly plumbs the depths of human emotion.

Consume a cool glass of night
Read poetry that inspires poetry
Write until temperament
returns to calm
That gives just an inkling of this wonderful collection Woman Without Shame by Sandra Cisneros.
Nice poetic advice.
ReplyDeleteStill writing, no calm yet. I shall persist.
Be well, friend.
Her poems are very relatable. Common sense with flair
