Bøger af Lorna Dee Cervantes

"A new collection of poems by one of the major voices in Chicana literature. Poet Lorna Dee Cervantes's poetry evokes and explores cultural difference-between Mexican, Anglo, Native American, and African American lives-as well as the divides of gender and economics"--

Since its inception in 1967, the ""Pitt Poetry Series"" has been a vehicle for America's finest contemporary poets including Poet Laureate Billy Collins, Toi Derricotte, Denise Duhamel, Lynn Emanuel, Bob Hicok, and, Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Ted Kooser. This work is a collection of the best work from this series.

Flavoured by the author's Chicana and Native American roots, this poetry collection explores eroticism and sensuality while keeping to the confines of 100 words. Simultaneously intelligent and humorous, this book investigates the themes of passion and desire as it conveys intense political ideas and reactions.

Emplumada is Lorna Dee Cervantes's first book, a collection of poems remarkable for their surface clarity, precision of image, and emotional urgency.
