With threads of poems and other literary pieces about her Yaqui and Mestizaje heritage, Vibiana Aparicio-Chamberlin weaves a rich tapestry of her many-layered existence living as a Xicana in this country. Her activist background and her life in Aztlán now called the United States southwest gives her poetry a sensibility, a voice for Mexicans and Chicanos who experience life and struggles on both sides of the border. –Kate Maruyama, MFA, Affiliate Faculty in Creative Writing, Antioch University.
