Mango —like many of her generation, she now combines university life with writing. She presently teaches in the Creative Writing Program of the University of Colorado, Boulder. Yet, ethnic unity, necessary to combat anti-Chicano prejudice, demands sexual harmony, so the author synthesizes from the older generations the wisdom of female oral tradition: a balance of strength and tenderness, of openness and caution, of sincerity and reserve. Castaneda’s lesson—struggle with the enemy to turn it into your assistant—is applied to men and Nature. She learns to live with them, although never completely at ease. Survival depends on constant vigilance against betrayal, because despite the façade of peace, society and Nature are essentially a battle. Her manner of self-defense is to develop a harmonious identity through personal symbols in Nature—birds—related to a chosen cultural emphasis—the Native American element in her Mexican American past. Then she blends them into the image of her art in the metaphor of the pen through an interlingual play on words— pluma in Spanish means pen and feather, so to be

You're ignored. You're something in the periphery, emptying garbage cans or washing plates. You're not expected to speak, much less write." Born in San Francisco's Mission district of Native American and Mexican ancestry, Lorna Dee Cervantes discovered Shakespeare and the English Romantic poets in the houses her mother cleaned. As an adult, she has worked to put into language the once-wordless histories of Mexican Americans and especially Chican-Indias. She teaches at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Poems by Lorna Dee Cervantes: Freeway 280 Las casitas near the gray cannery, nestled amid wild abrazos of climbing roses and man-high red geraniums are gone now.The freeway conceals it all beneath a raised scar. But under the fake windsounds of the open lanes, in the abandoned lots below, new grasses sprout, wild mustard remembers, old gardens come back stronger than they were, trees have been left standing in their yards. Albaricoqueros, cerezos, nogales . . . Viejitas come here with paper bags to gather greens. Espinaca, verdolagas, yerbabuena . . . I scramble over the wire fence that would have kept me out. Once, I wanted out, wanted the rigid lanes to take me to a place without sun, without the smell of tomatoes burning on swing shift in the greasy summer air. Maybe it's here where I'll find it, that part of me mown under like a corpse or a loose seed.

Sensitive to the racial and ethnic prejudice she might encounter growing up in San Jose, her parents insisted that she speak only English both in and outside the home. She graduated from San Jose State College and for many years supported herself by writing and publishing. Cervantes founded and published a journal, Mango , which featured the work of Latino poets; she also wrote two volumes of poetry.

Previous Next 7. "I've added a chronology to the end of the book," Dove has said. "I never thought I'd do this in my life, but I did a chronology from 1900 to 1960. If s a very eccentric chronology, so you can see what was happening in the social structure of midwest America at the time this couple was growing up" (Rubin and Ingersoll 236). 8. Although I don't think Dove is deliberately recalling the aurora borealis of Wallace Stevens's "Auroras of Autumn," Stevens' poems play a part in any American poet's debate about the imagination's power to transform the real. In "Auroras of Autumn," as it might relate to Dove's poem, see especially Stevens' closing section with its variations on "An unhappy people in an unhappy world" (316). Another poet whose work enters this debate, in a way I think is especially important to Dove's poetry, is Robert Hayden. See especially his "The Peacock Room" (118-19), "Free Fantasia: Tiger Howers" (130-31) and "the Tatooed Man" (160).

HOME Friday, December 23, 2005 Lorna Dee Cervantes, Mammatus I received an email today from Lorna Dee Cervantes, associate professor of English at the University of Colorado and critically acclaimed poet. It was in response to the challenge to write a poem about the photo of the amazing mammatus clouds that were taken over Hastings, Nebraska in 2004. Without further adieu, here is Lorna’s submission: MAMMATUS by Lorna Dee Cervantes Gut roped in the sky, you and I, an anomaly, a rarer occurrence. You kick the wind up to wind the threads. Your light, a burgeoning there among the dark filters. Twisted fist of my making, you, some squeezing finger, a trigger of hair sensitive to what is not there. Where are your hands in this gripping of the neck? Where, your charm? Your cauldron? Ominous in appearance, your frown, the tornedo of your forrowed brow. I wait for your aftermath like an afterbirth, a thick subsiding. The sinking air, whisper of crystal— pouchlike love, a yearning back down to the earth. I hold you here, suspended in rain, the descending choir, the anvil

Submit articles free The Free Library ... MELUS artId=14285291;usrSelf=false; Divided loyalties: literal and literary in the poetry of Lorna Dee Cervantes, Cathy Song and Rita Dove. Adapting Emerson's terms, I want to explore the way both the literary and the literal make themselves felt in the work of three contemporary poets: Lorna Dee Cervantes, Cathy Song and Rita Dove. Each of these women is a member of a different American minority, and the work of each exhibits the pressures of particular, historical reality, and of the poet's need to witness what is. All three of these writers experience what Milosz calls the way "events burdening a whole community are perceived by the poet as touching him in a most personal manner" (94-95). Yet the work of these poets is shaped not only by their cultures but also by a passion for language's possibilities, for the creative and experimental energy of poetry itself. At times this passion can seem to separate them from the very communities of which they are a part; the sensuous appeal of poetry may seem irrelevant to those who live amidst more pressing and immediate concerns. The poet's formal, literary education and her fluency with written language may also separate her from her cultural community. And while beyond the scope of this essay, the important issue of a poet's fluency in English, when her experience is multicultural and bilingual, further complicates this matter.(2)
