description: These poems take us into the intensely intimate realms of desire, politics and survival. Chrystos' words are made sharp by the living traditions of her people and the edgy rythms of urban life. Both draw us in to hear her stories of passion and injustice. This is poetry to live by. -- Jewelle Gomez
