>One of the preeminent voices in Chicana literature and American poetry,
>Lorna Dee Cervantes is a dynamic poet whose work draws tremendous power
>from her struggles in the literary and political 
>trenches. Her power is channeled
>by a keen intellect and careful attention to 
>craft, which allows her to explore the
>boundaries between language and experience. Joy Harjo says of her poetry,
>"Lorna Dee Cervantes is a daredevil... We are transfixed as she juggles rage,
>cruelties, passion. There is no net. Seven 
>generations uphold the trick of survival.
>No one is alone in this amazing act of love."
>
>Cervantes' first book, Emplumada (University of Pittsburgh, 1981), was a
>recipient of the American Book Award. Her second 
>collection, From the Cables of
>Genocide:Poems on Love and Hunger (Arte Público, 1991) was awarded the
>Patterson Poetry Prize, the poetry prize of the Institute of Latin American
>Writers, and the Latino Literature Award. Her 
>most recent work, Drive: The First
>Quartet, was published in 2006.
>Sponsored by Chicano Student Programs, the 
>Department of English, The Center for Ideas and
>Society, the College for Humanities, Arts, & 
>Social Sciences, the MFA Program in Creative Writing and
>Writing for the Performing Arts, the Department of Theatre, and MALCS de UCR.
