From the supplier: The life experiences that influenced the writing career of Chicana poet and fictionist Sandra Cisneros are explored, from her rootless childhood to her residency at the University of Iowa's Writers Workshop. Cisneros was the family's only girl, growing up among six brothers who formed alliances with each other. The desire to write may have been formed out of her loneliness and with guidance from her mother, Elvira, who was a voracious reader. The first real neighborhood her family occupied influenced her first literary success, 'The House on Mango Street.'
