<b>In this beautiful collection of poems, remarkable for their plainspoken radiance, the bestselling author of <i>The House on Mango Street </i>and winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature<i> </i>embraces her first passion-verse. </b><br><br>With lines both comic and sad, Sandra Cisneros deftly-and dazzlingly-explores the human experience. For those familiar with Cisneros only from her acclaimed fiction, <i>My Wicked Wicked Ways</i> presents her in an entirely new light. And for readers everywhere, here is a showcase of one of our most powerful writers at her lyrical best.<br><br>“Here the young voice of Esperanza of <i>The House on Mango Street</i> merges with that of the grown woman/poet. <i>My Wicked Wicked Ways</i> 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.” —Cherríe Moraga
