Summary: Sexy and Fun
Comment: Sandra Cisneros' collection of poetry is wonderful. Fun to read and very real, down to earth, very chilled out.
This book is perfect for both beginners and long-time poetry readers. It doesn't take long to "figure out" what Cisneros is trying to say, mostly because she spits it out like a bullet and doesn't beat around the bush. She tackles tough subjects and doesn't flinch a bit. She's right in your face telling you "how it is."
I don't know much about Cisneros, but I can guess she's an incredibly beautiful, sexy, fiesta Latina. She writes about sex and love and race and life like a woman who has lived through it all. Her book is hot and spicy and will keep you on your toes.

Summary: A Poet on the Loose
Comment: Again, Sandra Cisneros paints the poetic sky with her lyricism and word play. What other poet possesses such gift and style? Cisneros's poem titles in LOOSE WOMAN (1994) such as "I Am on My Way to Oklahoma to Bury the Man I Nearly Left My Husband For," "Down There," "Original Sin," "A Man in My Bed Like Cracker Crumbs," and "You Bring Out the Mexican in Me" speak for themselves.
For their originality and fire, I recommend this volume of poetry by the brave and thundering Sandra Cisneros.

Summary: weak
Comment: Cisneros created The House on Mango Street, which is in my opinion, one of the great modern masterpieces. I'm not familiar with her other fiction, so I don't know if she is a one hit wonder or not. I do know that her poetry is not very well done. I don't know, I expected a group of sensual or sexual poems along the lines of Sarah Cortez or Kim Addonizio. What I got were substandard poems, that were a pain to try to read. Pass this collection on by and pick up Cortez's How to Undress a Cop or any poetry collection by Kim Addonizio.
