Description

When Shawn Doubiago graduated from high school, she and her mother Sharon, embarked on a journey through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. In Cuzco, Peru, standing before an alter where the Incas had sacrifced their female virgins, the daughter asked, “Are there any good men?” South American Mi Hija is Sharon Doubiago’s reply.

Set amidst the mysteries and tragedies of South American culture, this book-length narrative poem is both an account of their journey and a feminist exploration of the struggle between the sexes.

“Sharon Doubiago is the greatest poet of my generation.”
— Michael Ventura, LA Weekly
“A true tour de force, as it utters truths that still have not been heard enough, and utters them from the heart.”

—The Kenyon Review
“Rich, intense, enchanting work.”
—Booklist
