5.0 out of 5 stars Inclusive Overview
Vintage Cisneros is a wonderful introduction to a complex and insightful author. Themes of personal and cultural identity and self-awareness are prominent and resplendent in their treatments. I only wish that more of her poetry were included. Overall, though, a beautiful compilation!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hit & Miss
Might be hard to call any of this a real "miss" because the selections themselves are so short they're overwith before you can come to dislike them.

I've never read Cisneros before. I enjoyed her defending America as an American/Mexican more than a Mexican/American. She has a very clear determination to keep the difference distinguished.

Her short-shorts...

I've never read Cisneros before. I enjoyed her defending America as an American/Mexican more than a Mexican/American. She has a very clear determination to keep the difference distinguished.

Her short-shorts were all very insightful, I think. The notion of creating a story within the confines of half a page can be daunting, yet, she manages it with relative ease.

Of the short-shorts, "Spic-Spanish" and "Hair" had to be two of my favorites.
