Trade ReviewVividly narrative and intensely lyrical. Her voice and experience are compelling and the nature of her quest moving. - Bloomsbury Review ""Doubiago continues to stake a claim to being one of America's most vigorous and ambitious poets. This is rich, intense, enchanting work."" - ALA Booklist ""This is a remarkable poem-of-ideas - ideas that are provocative, insightful. A classic feminist text."" - Belles Lettres ""There is no more vivid book than South America Mi Hija. There is no more immediate poem. Hers is not a poetry of imagery. Nor, in a strict sense, a lyric poetry. Her poetry is narrative by nature and epic by intent, and it achieves its state of white-hot imagination because Sharon Doubiago meets life so imaginatively."" - LA Weekly
