5.0 out of 5 stars Ann Alejandro is the best poet in the book, July 8, 2001
This review is from: Inheritance of Light: Contemporary Poetry (Hardcover)
Great collection, but I must say the last 4 poems are wonderful. They are by poet Ann Alejandro. Her work is unique, authentic, refreshing, eye-opening.
