AAP : Sandra Cisneros Sandra Cisneros permissions info Interview by: Maria-Antónia Oliver-Rotger Dates: January and February, 2000 VG Artist Page: Sandra Cisneros Maria-Antónia Oliver-Rotger (M-A O-R): You have said that you found your personal voice as a writer when you ceased to try to emulate a writing about comfortable spaces and places. Yet, the idea of the house as a space of comfort and intimacy is very present in your writings, especially in The House on Mango Street. Do you think that, in that respect, Gaston Bachelard's description of the house as a space of intimacy in The Poetics of Space influenced you in any way? Sandra Cisneros (SC): Yes, it did. Only I didn't understand it in the first place, and had to reflect on why this was so. I realized that I was the only person in the creative writing workshop that didn't have the same type of memory as Bachelard did regarding houses. This made me realize my class difference, and, subsequently, my gender difference regarding homes. M-A O-R: In Mango Street Esperanza becomes gradually aware of the spatial divisions within her own neighborhood and within the city. It seems, on the one hand, that she can only find freedom outside the social and gender constraints of her neighborhood, away from her past, her tradition, her class, her family home. On the other hand, she promises to go back to Mango, to rescue the ones that cannot out. You have said before that

Instead, I have to report about the great sadness of losing my friend the Poet Ai and of recent Arizona legislation aimed at Mexican immigrants. I was in Tucson when I heard the news about Ai's death. I put a white flower in the desert and said my thanks to that woman whose poetry spoke through voices, through incidents not mentioned in the history books. Did she realize how valuable she was to us? The Poet Ai reading and dancing at Macondo, San Antonio, August 2008 And then the recent Arizona legislation brought on by Mexiphobia. I don't know what to think about these times except to recommend everyone read Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories I read now about Arizona rules that teachers who teach English with a Spanish accent being removed from their jobs.

Carmelo, a novel Kliatt Nov, 2003 by Nola Theiss Next Random House, Vintage. 439p. c2002. 0-679-74258-1. $13.95. SA This novel tells the story of Carmelo's life as a child of Mexican parents, growing up in Chicago and Texas, but steeped in the ancient culture of her family. Her childhood summers are spent in Mexico City when her entire family would make the long trip from Chicago in a caravan of cars to Awful Grandmother's house on Destiny Street. Her life becomes a blend of Mexican and American culture, simmered in the often boiling emotions of family love and spiced with her own personality and growing pains. The experience of being a child of immigrants, with its richness and identity crises, is told lovingly and with humor and in a language filled with images of Mexico and 1950s and '60s America. Jumping from Carmelo's childhood to the history of her grandparents and parents, to her adolescence, Cisneros creates a melange of family that retains the flavor of each individual character but expresses that strange blend that identifies each family as unique.

Study Guides and Literature Essays Editing Services ... Authors : Sandra Cisneros Biography of Sandra Cisneros (1954-) Study Guides and Essays by Sandra Cisneros House on Mango Street Sandra Cisneros Born December 20, 1954 in Chicago, Sandra Cisneros is an American novelist, short-story writer, essayist, and poet. Cisneros is one of the first Hispanic-American writers who has achieved commercial success. She is lauded by literary scholars and critics for works which help bring the perspective of Chicana (Mexican-American) women into the mainstream of literary feminism. Cisneros received her B.A. from Loyola University in 1976 and her M.F.A from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1978. This workshop marks an important turning point in her career as a writer. Cisneros had periodically written poems and stories while growing up, but it was the frustrations she encountered at the Writer's Workshop that inspired Cisneros' realization that her experiences as a Latina woman were unique and outside the realm of dominant American culture. Thus, Cisneros decided to write about conflicts directly related to her upbringing, including divided cultural loyalties, feelings of alienation, and degradation associated with poverty. These specific cultural and social concerns, coupled with Cisneros' feelings of alienation as a Latina writer, came to life five years later in The House on Mango Street In addition to writing, Cisneros has taught at the Latino Youth Alternative High School in Chicago and has been a college recruiter and counselor for minority students at Loyala University of Chicago. She served as literature director for the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, Texas, and was an artist in residence at the Foundation Michael Karolyi in Vence, France. She has been a guest professor at

Her work experiments with literary forms and investigates emerging subject positions, which Cisneros herself attributes to growing up in a context of cultural hybridity and economic inequality that endowed her with unique stories to tell. She is the recipient of numerous awards including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and is regarded as a key figure in Chicana literature Cisneros's work deals with the formation of Chicana identity, exploring the challenges of being caught between Mexican and Anglo-American cultures, facing the misogynist attitudes present in both these cultures, and experiencing poverty. For her insightful social critique and powerful prose style, Cisneros has achieved recognition far beyond Chicano and Latino communities, to the extent that The House on Mango Street has been translated worldwide and is taught in American classrooms as a coming-of-age novel.

Old Maids by Sandra Cisneros My cousins and I, we don't marry. We're too old by Mexican standards. And the relatives have long suspected we can't anymore in white. My cousins and I, we're all old maids at thirty. Who won't dress children, and never saints though we undress them. The aunts, they've given up on us. No longer nudge You're next. Instead What happened in your childhood? What left you all mean teens? Who hurt you, honey? But we've studied marriages too long Aunt Ariadne, Tia Vashti, Comadre Penelope, querida Malintzin, Senora Pumpkin Shell lessons that served us well. Tip the barmaid in tight jeans. She's my friend. Been to hell and back again. I've been there too. Girlfriend, I believe in Gandhi. But some nights nothing says it quite precise like a lone Star cracked on someone's head. Last week in this same bar, kicked a cowboy in the butt who made a grab for Terry's ass. How do I explain, it was all of Texas I was kicking, and all our asses on the line. At Tacoland, Cat flamencoing crazy circles round the pool player with the furry tongue. A warpath of sorts for every wrong ever wronged us.
