Sandra Cisneros Author of Caramelo talks with Robert Birnbaum Posted: December 4, 2002 All photos by Red Diaz / Duende Publishing Writer, poet, performance artist Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago. She is the only girl in a family of seven of a Mexican father and Mexican-American mother. She received an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and has worked as a teacher to high-school dropouts, a poet-in-the-schools, a college recruiter and an arts administrator. She has received, among other awards and fellowships, the Lannan Literary Award, The American Book Award and a MacArthur Foundation fellowship. Sandra Cisneros has published Bad Boys, My Wicked Wicked Ways, Loose Woman, House on Mango Street, Hair/Pelitos and now Caramelo . She lives San Antonio, Texas. Robert Birnbaum: Tell me what it's like to spend such a long time on one project? Sandra Cisneros: RB: Can you connect that to anything in particular? SC: RB: SC: Yeah, having to become this public figure where people you don't know come up to you and talk to you at events. And the MacArthur [Fellowship], my father's death, all these took a toll and shaped me in some way, and I feel as if I traveled and became someone else. RB: I asked you the question about the length of time that it's taken you to write this book. Your answer was very specific and individual. Which leads me to think that we are given to generalizing this process of creating or writing something and in doing that we lose some understanding of it. When you describe it, it seems very natural, "You put your head down and then it was over."

More on Sandra Cisneros Sandra Cisneros, una Latina bastante classy! She grew up in the sixties as her family continuously migrated between Chicago and Mexico City, because of moving so often she had no friends. Being the only female child in a two parent household with S-I-X brothers wasn't a piece of cake either. So it is of absolutely no wonder that she turned to the make belief world of books. Like many of us Latinos with our toes touching two cultures (Are we Mexican, Puerto Ricanä Dominican or are we American?) and our hands grasping at two separate life styles (Rural or urban?) the "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" television portrayals of the happy little family just did not connect. Once Sandra Cisneros enrolled in her first college level writing course she found her calling, to write. Realizing that the big male voices of the time were not befitting her she began writing in a style different than those of her fellow students. She wrote what she knew, her stories are of "feminism, love, oppression, and religion" isn't that the core of being Latina!? Total understanding!

Cisneros is one of the first Hispanic-American writers who has achieved commercial success. She is lauded by literary scholars and critics for works which help bring the perspective of Chicana (Mexican-American) women into the mainstream of literary feminism. Cisneros received her B.A. from Loyola University in 1976 and her M.F.A from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1978. This workshop marks an important turning point in her career as a writer. Cisneros had periodically written poems and stories while growing up, but it was the frustrations she encountered at the Writer's Workshop that inspired Cisneros' realization that her experiences as a Latina woman were unique and outside the realm of dominant American culture. Thus, Cisneros decided to write about conflicts directly related to her upbringing, including divided cultural loyalties, feelings of alienation, and degradation associated with poverty. These specific cultural and social concerns, coupled with Cisneros' feelings of alienation as a Latina writer, came to life five years later in The House on Mango Street (1983). In addition to writing, Cisneros has taught at the Latino Youth Alternative High School in Chicago and has been a college recruiter and counselor for minority students at Loyala University of Chicago. She served as literature director for the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, Texas, and was an artist in residence at the Foundation Michael Karolyi in Vence, France. She has been a guest professor at

Sandra Cisneros' Career Jane Juffer In the introduction to Alfred A. Knopf's 1994, ten-year anniversary reprinting of her House on Mango Street , Sandra Cisneros recalls what initially inspired the now internationally acclaimed novel. As a graduate student in the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, Cisneros felt alienated by discussion of Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space . She says, "What was this guy talking about when he mentioned the familiar and comforting 'house of memory'? It was obvious he never had to clean one or pay the landlord rent for one like ours" (xiii-xiv). Cisneros' alienation gave rise to anger, which in turn prompted the writing of House on Mango Street ; the lyrical novel describing the life of a young Mexican-American girl growing up in a working-class Chicago neighborhood, much as Cisneros herself did. In an attempt to establish the difference of this kind of home from the one her fellow students remembered, Cisneros sought what she calls an "anti-academic voicea child's voice, a girl's voice, a poor girl's voice, a spoken voice, the voice of an American-Mexican" (xv). Ironically, this anti-academic novel has become widely acclaimed as a "literary masterpiece," beginning in 1985 when it won the Before Columbus Book Award. Furthermore, it has represented an important position in debates over multiculturalismthe ability to speak to specific cultural experiences and yet claim literary, even canonical, value. Since the late 1980s

Rebellion Summary In this autobiographical poem, the poet describes with tongue-in-cheek her status in a Mexican-American family as seen from her father's point of view. It is clear from the outset that the father is unhappy with his only daughter's behavior. Unmarried, she has left home to make her own way while her six brothers remain at home. The father accounts for her behavior, and at the same time predicts its consequences, by recalling all the female relatives who ended badly: widowed, in jail, cursed by voodoo, alone. The most "audacious crime[s]" of all, however, is that of "disobeying fathers." Commentary Sandra Cisneros grew up in Chicago, the child of working class Mexican-American parents. She has decribed herself as a "Chicana feminist" and as "nobody's mother and nobody's wife." This poem is interesting to use in a discussion of feminism. It is also well suited for discussions of cultural diversity, together with poems written by authors representing other ethnic groups, such as

Women's History Month Sandra Cisneros Born 1954 Poet, Writer "It was not until this moment when I separated myself, when I considered myself truly distinct, that my writing acquired a voice." In her poetry and stories, Mexican American author Sandra Cisneros writes about Mexican and Mexican American women who find strength to rise above the poor conditions of their lives. These types of characters have not been presented so clearly in writing before. Cisneros is determined to introduce them to American readers, and so far her efforts have been successful. A reviewer for the Washington Post Book World described Cisneros as "a writer of power and eloquence and great lyrical beauty." Cisneros' ability to write about these strong characters comes from her childhood experiences. Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1954, she grew up in poverty. As the only girl in a family of seven children, Cisneros spent a lot of time by herself. Because her family moved often, she was not able to form lasting friendships. "The moving back and forth, the new school, were very upsetting to me as a child," she explained to Jim Sagel in Publishers Weekly.
