5.0 out of 5 stars REVIEW QUOTES, September 7, 2001
This review is from: Risking a Somersault in the Air: Conversations with Nicaraguan Writers (Paperback)
Margaret Randall presents a dynamic collection of 14 personal interviews with Nicaragua's most important writer-revolutionaries who played major roles in the 1979 revolution and the subsequent reconstruction. These artists speak of their writing and their pratical tasks in constructing a new society. Among the writers included are Gioconda Belli, Tomás Borge, Omar Cabezas, Ernesto Cardenal, Vidaluz Menéses, Julio Valle-Castillo, and Daisy Zamora.

"This is a book that encourages and empowers those of us who are poets, those of us who write and those of us who work to change society to fit the hopes and dreams of the common people." --Alice Walker

"..the truthfulness as they tell their lives...as literary workers in a revolutionary time...the happiness, the toll, the sacrifice that's part of the process. And...the pride of being heard, your next poem waited for-your trade 'poet' respected and emulated by the young." --Grace Paley
