Frank Sonata By Candlelight She listens to Frank Sonata by Candlelight, wipes her fingertips after a dip of lemon and rose, cracks her crab with a silver plier. She never bounces a check, always remembers to buckle her seat belt, never skips breakfast or forgets the way you like your toast and coffee: light and creamy. Have you forgotten Satie moving about the house like an elephant trunk, a melancholy plunking like autumn leaves or wood smoke in the morning? How they found him, alone, wasted, dis- heveled in the head and reeking. No one paid the light bill that year. I listen in the dark. from Sniper logic Love of My Flesh, Living Death Once I wasn't always so plain. I was strewn feathers on a cross of dune, an expanse of ocean at my feet, garlands of gulls. Sirens and gulls. They couldn't tame you. You know as well as they: to be a dove is to bear the falcon at your breast, your nights, your seas. My fear is simple, heart-faced above a flare of etchings, a lineage in letters, my sudden stare. It's you. It's you!

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.

Palestine by Lorna Dee Cervantes
Looking for some comfort in a poem. This is to PLO poet, Mahmoud Darwish
“We travel like other people, but we return to nowhere.../ .../ We have a country of words. Speak. Speak so we may know the end of this travel.”
(from
We Travel like Other People
the lines quoted are from his poem “Psalm 2”)
a country you carry in your pocket airport to airport, a country that exists for you in a remembered fragrance, an expired stamp, now the seal of blood embossed upon someone's sunstruck pavement. Who owns this property? Who owns the right to no way out but a busted window a hundred flights up? Who owns the key

Dominic Lane's Reflections on Lorna Dee Cervantes' Poems
Dominic Lane
Feb. 26, 2002
Period 6
“Freeway 280”
The loss of something that Lorna Dee Cervantes took for granted is described in “Freeway 280.” The poem is a reflection of familiar events and settings in her past that were destroyed. With the coming of the freeway Lorna returns to this place on a quest to find her self, she believes that by connecting to her past, she will be able to find the part of her that is missing.
The author of this poem realizes that the only thing left of her past is memories. As she reminices about the homes with “roses and man-high red geraniums.” She is suddenly hit with the reality of what is left in its place. All that is left is a freeway. Even though that freeway is concealing those physical settings, she knows that the memories are still there, and there is nothing that can conceal these memories.
These events were real, we know this by the language that Lorna Dee Cervantes uses. The mention of “viejitas” gathering “espiraca, verdologes, yerbabuena…”implies that there is a culture behind these people. There was life that had meaning, a life that no longer exists. Finding part of her life “en los campos extranos de esta civadad” shows how she can only find part of her self by being in touch with her heritage. This would not have been possible to prove without the use of a different language.
The poem tries to prove that our past cannot be concealed. As it is said by Cervantes, “But under the fake wind sand of the open lanes, in the abandoned lots below… wild mustered remembers… It is up to us to cherish whatever memories we have. We can’t take a physical place for granted, because our world is constantly affected by modern changes too.

Himon Robles' Critical Reflections About Lorna Dee Cervantes' Poetry
Himon Robles
Final Draft
GOING HOME
In the poem “Freeway 280” by Lorna Dee Cervantes, it tells us about this young woman’s life that she left behind in order to become successful in the city. She returns to the place that she once called home. When the woman returns to her village she begins to remember how it used to be with the old little viejitas going into the fields to go and pick their greens. She wants a part of her to stay there in her village because she needs this part of her to keep on going. As she states, "The freeway conceals it all beneath a raised scar.” The freeway is talked about as a raised scar because they built it right through her village; her little casitas are underneath the new built freeway. The freeway represents the future that is ahead of her and the success that it will lead to. However, the woman returns home because she feels there is a piece of her missing; maybe it’s her Hispanic culture.
The bilingualism that is used in this poem gives it a sense of reality like you’re there with her seeing the old lady pick her crops from the fields or when she talks about the garden that once stood there in her village. The narrator states, “Old gardens come back stronger than they were.” This tells me that she must have been gone for a very long time and that she always thought about her home. She remembers how the garden was before she left. When Ms. Cervantes came to our class she helped us understand the poem much better and it brought the poem to life so to speak.

Lorna Dee Cervantes
"A writer of unusual emotional strength, Cervantes uses the material of her own life to write poems that speak to everyone. . . . For an understanding of personal courage, it's a great book. Cervantes' command of her art is exciting, and her ability to draw the reader in is sure. What I wanted to do after finishing Emplumanda was to read more work by this author."- The New Woman's Times Feminist Review "A remarkably easy book to read."- The American Book Review "No book before Lorna Dee Cervantes's Emplumada has so completely and sharply drawn the East Bay and San Jose, California experience with full justice. No book has so successfully made the Californian urban and rural worlds of unfinished freeways and 'spinached specked shoes' of cannery workers come alive. No book has so carefully elucidated what living as a Chicana in the West means, and how 'an intelligent, well-read person could believe in the war between races.' Emplumada offers a number of troubled and delicated portrait of a woman's world and how that antipatriarchal world has come to have meaning."-

The reading, which is presented under the auspices of the Gertrude Clarke Whittall Poetry and Literature Fund, will begin at 6:45 p.m. Tickets are not required. Alfred Arteaga was born in Los Angeles in 1950. He received his B.A. degree and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in literature from the University of California at Santa Cruz and an M.F.A. degree in creative writing from Columbia University. His poetry collection, Cantos, was published in 1991; a prose poem, Love in the Time of Aftershocks, will appear soon. Also to be published in the spring are a collection of theoretical essays entitled Chicano Poetics: Heterotexts and Hybridities and a collection of personal essays, House with the Blue Bed. Mr. Arteaga is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship (1995) and a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship. Lorna Dee Cervantes is the author of Emplumada (1981), which won the 1982 American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation; and From the Cables of Genocide: Poems on Love and Hunger (1991), which was chosen by Hayden Carruth as the recipient of the Paterson Poetry Prize, and which won the 1993 Latino Literature Prize and a National Book Award nomination. Other awards and honors include National Endowment for the Arts fellowships and the Pushcart Prize. A doctoral student in History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Ms. Cervantes teaches creative writing workshops at the graduate and undergraduate levels, poetry, poetics, Chicano and Indigenous literature, multicultural writing, contemporary women's literature, cross-cultural American literature, and the literature of exile. Ms. Cervantes has been a leader in the Chicano literary movement, establishing and editing literary journals such as Mango and Red Dirt. The poetry and literature reading series at the Library of Congress is the oldest in the Washington area, and one of the oldest in the United States. This annual series of public poetry and fiction readings, lectures, symposia, and occasional dramatic performances began in the 1940s and has been almost exclusively supported since 1951 by a gift from the late Gertrude Clarke Whittall, who wanted to bring the enjoyment and appreciation of good literature to a larger audience. The Poetry and Literature Center, which administers the series, is also the home of the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry, a position that has existed since 1936, when the late philanthropist Archer M. Huntington endowed the Chair of Poetry at the Library of Congress. Since then, many of the nation's most eminent poets have served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress and, after the passage of Public Law 99-194 in 1985, as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry. The Poet Laureate suggests authors to read in the literary series, plans other special literary events during the reading season, and usually introduces the programs. # # # PR 97-14 01/29/97 ISSN 0731-3527 ***updated 2/12/97

NOTES: If Emplumada, Lorna Dee Cervantes' first celebrated collection of poetry, is the work of a poet on her way to becoming a major voice in American literature, "From The Cables of Genocide: Poems on Love and Hunger" will confirm her as one of the most talented and compelling poets writing today. Cervantes stretches the resources of language, imagery and the dialectics of love, hunger and aesthetics to express a penetrating feminist and human vision of her universe. Cisneros, Sandra
