Highlighted Reviews
"Mora confronts the clash of cultures in a courageous, tough
tone that masks a gentle sensibility. What finally gives this book
its healing power is the mesmerizing honesty of Mora's celebration
of herself as a woman, mother, lover."—The Bloomsbury Review
"We begin one of Mora’s poems as if embarking on an exploration
of an unknown country. When we finish, we have learned so much
about its topology we feel we can claim the land as ours. These
are arduous expeditions, though, for both writer and reader."—El
