Desire

Author: Alma Villanueva
ISBN: 9780927534765

Poetry. Villanueva's poems fuse the personal and the political, anchoring the abstract in the sensual world and revealing a belief in the power of language to connect us to the world, to each other, and to ourselves. "We are all witness to our human history, " (from "Witness"), and Villanueva's witnessing takes the form of honest poems that employ a clarity of perception to inspire their readers. Villanueva won the Latino Literature Prize in 1994 for her book Planet, and has written four other volumes of poetry, a collection of short stories, and two prize-winning novels.
