ISBN-13: 978-1-55885-033-0, ISBN: 1-55885-033-3

"This collection confirms Cervantes' stature as a poet as she stretches the resources of language, imagery and the dialectics of love, hunger and aesthetics to express a penetrating feminist and human vision of her universe.

ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5327-2, ISBN: 0-8229-5327-7

""Emplumada" is Lorna Dee Cervantes s first book, a collection of poems remarkable for their surface clarity, precision of image, and emotional urgency.

"for Ramon Del Castillo upon being awarded his Ph.D. 15 de Mayo, 1999 says the voice on the phone. “Doctor Del Castillo here. I'm done, Lady, at last.” And I think of the mask of paint on “King Crack,” the black hood of the past just over his left shoulder, the calavera printing its sheaf of poems in white and black over the faces of our barrio youth, the jagged fingers of Death stroking a ruca's cheek, boney as a typewriter key str ..."
