- "To me theory is a way of writing a story, a way tradition says that we should write a story." / Gloria Anzaldua -- "Poetry is an exercise of freedom ... freedom on all fronts." / Lorna Dee Cervantes -- "My writing is a mirror into my culture." / Denise Chavez -- "Everything else is work, but poetry is my life, the air all that I breathe." / Lucha Corpi -- "Dare to be who you are and celebrate who you are." / Jamie Lujan -- "The message of my work is to always question authority." / Demetria Martinez -- "The issue is not so much ethnicity or gender. It is about the way we reach a point of communion as human beings sharing this difficult journey called life." / Pat Mora -- "My bottom line is always that I want to get better and better and better, which means keeping an open heart and an open mind." / Cherrie Moraga -- "I prefer books to people, ... [and] I am convinced that words can be used to color the world." / Mary Helen Ponce -- "Writing is still my journey of self-discovery." / Estela Portillo-Trambley
