Love her work, really enjoyed this book.
I love that she is Mexican American like me. Her writing is honest, beautiful, simple, humorous, poignant and sad, all at the same time. Movie previews used to say, “If you see only one movie this year, make this one it!” He hated that, because if you’re only going to see one movie, don’t bother. My younger brother and I would reenact sword fights from Robin Hood or Captain Blood. With all the commotion about stars and starlets in the popular press today- it was refreshing to read about a real character. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of, Published I will be reading more of Ms. Cisneros work. He certainly led an incredible life and definitely the title of "my wicked wicked ways" fits perfectly.
Minus one more because if he was going to write a tell-all, he could have told a lot more about his actual exploits. Really. the outrageous-anecdote-to-page ratio runs about 1:1 all the way through. Your soul will be compromised. Written at the age of 50 when he was washed up, drinking himself to death, living mostly on his Jamaican estate but also enjoying a second wind of film success playing layabouts and has-beens rather than swashbuckling heroes, My Wicked Wicke. I love the way Cisneros handles language in The House on Mango Street, so I knew her poetry would also be beautiful. He was seduced by older women, and stole their jewelry before leaving in the night. Since in those days we didn't medicate children with this kind of ambition, Errol was free to take off and seek this kind of life in New Guinea. Uncle Errol never learns from his mistakes. Cisneros has her own grasp on poetry fundamentals that gives her poems music and vitality. I’m feel that way about books. This collection was incredible. "My Wicked Wicked Ways" is a stunning collection of poetry by one of my favorite America writers, Sandra Cisneros. About. all the rodrigo poems were rly good, plus the poem about peaches was cute. Although I have heard the wickedness admitted to in Errol's biography maybe exaggerated, by all measures it is more exciting that anything any actor or actress today could dream up. it started out decent but not really resonating with me and it just keeps getting better and better!!
I read the poems at nighttime when I'm most comfortable.

This was the first biographical work I had ever read about a Hollywood star, and it's a pleasurable habit I have never gotten ri. My nose was in fur and ordure. She's now on my list of favorite contemporary poets, joining Mary Oliver and Sharon Olds. Someone needs to leak the ghostwriter of this book's name because this is just masterfully written, though I have little doubt that Errol's unique narrative came from no other source than the man himself. Though he didn't claim to be a good father, I think he was the type of man who couldn't abandon them financially, thus strapping him to the Hollywood scene for the rest of his life. As a Californian I u. Errol Flynn was dashing and daring as an actor and that's all I had known him for in my youth. I bit and spat out the product into a pile of what they called prairie oysters. Minus one star because of his narcissism and overall obliviousness to other people's feelings, such as the women he cheated on - one of whom wrote that after her marriage to Errol Flynn, she felt her heart was like a pincushion stuck full of pins. The poem that introduces this edition of the collection is especially good--an account of how the poet has ended up where she is, who she is. He was bold and irresistible. Teenagers can easily connect with "Drought", which relates the angst of romantic communication. He is blunt and open about his life and things he's done. Even before his discovery & fame & great success in Hollywood he was clearly a ne'er do well & pretty much a bum and a low life.
I believe the poem is about her father having an affair on her mother. Start by marking “My Wicked Wicked Ways: Poems” as Want to Read: Error rating book. Although some poems in the last sections are excellent--"No Mercy," with its air of a prosecutor's brief, is splendid--as a love poet, Cisneros attitudinizes too much and uses her tight style more to ration her candor than to impel images. I read this book, knowing that he had been a rake and thinking that I might also be a rake if I were given the chance, since I had just come out of active duty in the Army. No Kindle device required.

I think this may need to change.... A real life Flashman albeit with a slight conscience. I couldn't find any redeeming qualities; his beauty really was only skin deep.
Cisneros has her own grasp on poetry fundamentals that gives her poems music and vitality. Hailed as "not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one" (The New York Times Book Review), Sandra Cisneros has firmly established herself as an author of electrifying talent. I found it so comforting to read again!

My wicked wicked ways Are over. its so good!! Cisneros does some interesting things with internal rhymes and cadence--some of the poems have almost a nursery-rhyme rhythm to them, and it really works. Most recently, she received the Ford Foundation’s Art of Change Fellowship, was recognized among The Frederick Douglass 200, and was awarded the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. Flynn, Cooper, Mitchum, Brando, Dean, Stewart, et al are very interesting people who knew interesting people, and this book is worth the read.
