How to Be a Chicana Role Model — Michele Serros
Welcome to the life of a Chicana role model...
She's recited poetry by the outhouses at Lollapalooza ... cleaned up after the Flygirls on the set of in Living Color ... seduced a love-struck fan with a plagiarized poem ... studied Spanish with a clique of catty coeds in Mexico ... traveled to inner-city schools to introduce reluctant readers to the wonder of words....
This is the world that award-winning poet Michele Serros explores in this vibrant, witty, and touching collection of fiction. Her work has been called "wonderfully comical and wise" (San Francisco Chronicle) and "pulsat[ing] with the exuberance of an unmistakably original poetic talent" (Entertainment Weekly). In this ruthlessly honest and fiercely funny tale of a Chicana writer searching for her place in a world where honorariums are hard to come by, Serros proves that a writer's voice always rings true.
