Woven Voices: Three Generations of Puertorriquena Poets Look at Their American Lives

This is not your usual book of poetry. It was designed to be a...conversation of poetry among three very different but truly related poets, Anita V lez-Mitchell, grandmother and mother, Gloria Vando, mother and daughter, and Anika Paris, daughter and granddaughter.The work of each woman has been divided among common subjects and placed in relation to work of the other two women, forming a poetic conversation or pl tica, the poetic equivalent of pulling up a chair and sitting with a cup of tea or coffee to listen to the three generations of women talking together about the important issues of their lives and often laughing together. --Linda Rodriguez, from the introduction
