Review:

"Not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one." --"The New York Times Book Review
"
"All poets would do well to follow the example of Sandra Cisneros, who takes no prisoners and has not made a single compromise in her language." -- Barbara Kingsolver, "Los Angeles Times"
"Cisneros is a writer for all people." --"USA Today"
"Here the young voice of Esperanza of "The House on Mango Street" merges with that of the grown woman/poet. "My Wicked Wicked Ways" is a kind of international graffiti, where the poet--bold and insistent--puts her mark on those traveled places on the map and in the heart." --Cherrie Moraga
"A writer of power and eloquence and great lyrical beauty." --"The Washington Post Book World"
"[Cisneros'] work is sensitive, alert, nuanceful. It is rich with music and picture." -- Gwendolyn Brooks
