Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. This copy of "My Wicked Wicked Ways" has been SIGNED by Sandra Cisneros on the title page! This was from an event at Princeton University featuring a discussion about cultural identity in conjunction with The Mango Suite Project. The poems in "My Wicked Wicked Ways" attest to Sandra Cisneros's first passion, and reveal why her stories have been praised for their precision of language and poetic descriptions. Here are verses, comic and sad, radiantly pure and plainspoken, that rise like songs from the hearts of men and women. The work includes the poems from her first collection "Bad Boys" (now out of print). "My Wicked Wicked Ways" was first published in paperback in 1987. The "near fine" condition reflects a red mark close in to the top spine. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 8988
