“In many ways Vigil has tapped the uncertainty many have felt at the twilight of the seventies, and by expressing those doubts in the vernacular of the majority, she speaks not as a single, alienated intellectual, but as a spokesperson of a community now embarking on a new decade, into still uncharted—and often even frightening—directions.”—Elizabeth Ordóñez, Revista Chicano-Riqueña
“The book is superior in that it expresses emotion and dramatizes appeal which keep the reader involved. The language of the book flows smoothly and reads well. The book would serve as an excellent text for a course in contemporary Chicano poetry.”—Lector
