Mona, a Peruvian writer based in California, presents a tough and sardonic exterior. She likes drugs and cigarettes, and when she learns that she is something of an anthropological curiosity - a woman writer of color treasured at her university for the flourish of rarefied diversity she brings - she pokes fun at American academic culture and its fixation on identity.

The list of poets included in this book is both personal and very selective, chosen because at various points in my life they spoke to me in ways that shifted that life in what I now, in my twilight years, can see was the right direction. They were, in ...
