Reseña del editor:

“This is not your usual book of poetry. It was designed to be a...conversation of poetry among three very different but truly related poets, Anita Vélez- Mitchell, grandmother and mother, Gloria Vando, mother and daughter, and Anika Paris, daughter and granddaughter.The work of each woman has been divided among common subjects and placed in relation to work of the other two women, forming a poetic conversation or plática, the poetic equivalent of pulling up a chair and sitting with a cup of tea or coffee to listen to the three generations of women talking together about the important issues of their lives and often laughing together.—Linda Rodriguez, from the introduction

Nota de la solapa:

Woven Voices is like no other poetry book! Here is a gorgeous trio of poets, a grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter who share family ties, a common Puerto Rican history, and the twists and turns of a diasporic journey. Each speaking in her own unique voice, Anita, Gloria, and Anika write with honesty and tenderness about the big themes of home and mortality as well as about everyday lessons and losses. Read the poems together and separately and you'll find yourself singing along, entering a world of beauty and truth you didn't know existed.” —RUTH BEHAR An Island Called Home: Returning to Jewish Cuba
