Please Don't Circumcise My Clitoris

"Please Don't Circumcise My Clitoris" is an invocation arranged by Roxanna Gómez Sequeira with the fertile blood of her life experience of a woman, lover, and visionary. Her word is the fruit of her peculiar existence-the umbilical cord of her intellectual passion mixed with the fear, pleasure, and pain that living life may produce. Like her ovaries, which are the transmitters of the biology of her sensations, her poems are the transmissions of her sensorial, dreamful experience transformed into art. This book is a record of her life-a manifesto of the ecstasy and pain of being a "daughter of Eve" in a world dominated by a religious-military brotherhood. It is her loving embrace to all the women in the world whose clitoris is circumcised by the men they create. These sons of Eve violate their mothers, daughters, and wives in a futile attempt to negate the true source of their lives and feminine fate. Humberto Gómez Sequeira, Editor
