In this beautiful collection of poems, remarkable for their plainspoken radiance, the bestselling author of The House on Mango embraces her first passion—verse. With lines both comic and sad, Sandra Cisneros deftly—and dazzlingly—explores the human experience. 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.
