«My Wicked Wicked Ways» is Sandra Cisneros's collection of poems, published by Knopf in hardcover (128 pages, in English).
Cisneros, known for her novel La casa en Mango Street, shows her poetic side here: verses that oscillate between the comic and the sad to explore love, family, and the identity of the Mexican American woman, in settings ranging from the Chicano barrio to cities like Paris and Venice.
The poetry collection was originally published in paperback in 1987 by Third Woman Press; the present hardcover edition appeared in November 1992.
For readers of contemporary poetry, especially those interested in Chicano literature and Latina authors who address identity and feminism.
Sandra Cisneros is an American writer. She is best known for her first novel, The House on Mango Street (1984), and her subsequent short story collection, Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991). Her work includes experimentation with emerging subject positions, which Cisneros attributes to growing up in a context of cultural hybridity and economic inequality that endowed her with unique stories to tell. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, was awarded one of 25 new Ford Foundation Art of Change fellowships in 2017, and is regarded as a key figure in Chicano literature.
