These poems take us into the intensely intimate realms of desire, politics and survival. Chrystos' words are made sharp by the living traditions of her people and the edgy rythms of urban life. Both draw us in to hear her stories of passion and injustice. This is poetry to live by. -- Jewelle Gomez

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Like the surging waves of her beloved sea, Chrystos' words and images crash around our feet and tug us into the heart of matters." --Gloria Anzaldua --Gloria Anzaldua
"These poems burn incandescently hot, in the flames of desire and anger. Read Fugitive Colors; the intense poet-voice of Chrystos will summon you to stand with her and know this place of fire." --Minnie Bruce Pratt ----Minnie Bruce Pratt
"Chrystos' poems in Fugitive Colors are made with the deep breath of passionate attention and friction. This book contains the avalanche of chaos and intensity, shadow's side and stark light. Appearances of strange grace, belief and pain 'name the edges' then cut to the interior to find the 'calm silence of blood.' Breath in... Endure." --Elizabeth Woody --Elizabeth Woody
