Celebrated Chicana poet and children's author Pat Mora once again contributes an essential collection to the growing body of U.S. Latina/o literature. Her new and selected poems for young adults address diverse themes, and each section contributes to the empowering vision of the collection. The section titled "Thorns" reveals society's wounds, but the possibility of hope to rise above harsh circumstances.(The fifth star belongs to the next reader, the next young writer.)Mora's poems carve a necessary voice in U.S. poetics. She is a healer with a vision, and the speakers in her poems are mostly witnesses, mapping their own space.
I've really enjoyed the poetry in this collection! My favorite may be either "Mango Juice" or "Elena." The poems are powerful and easy to read and understand, which would be perfect for a reluctant poem reader.

It about a mexican lady that talks about her spanish roots. she also talks about what she went through as a child. her first love, her mother, father, sister and what her culture asked her to do.
