Luisa in Realityland
A collection of poetry from one of Central America's most accomplished writers, Claribel Alegría, Luisa in Realityland explores state oppression, cultural identity, and everyday life as a woman in Latin America. Alternating between prose and verse, and frequently entering the realm of magical realism, Alegría discusses the horrors she's seen without losing sight of the universal nature of humanity.
