Roots of Redemption: You have No Right to Remain Silent by Iris De Anda
In this collection, Los Angeles poet Iris de Anda serves as witness to the range of travesties and tragedies resulting from the Trump Era and what came before and continues. The poet as testifier, as spy in the hole of society’s conscience, as brave foot soldier who pulls the pin on the hand grenade exploding with poetic truths—Iris de Anda ¡Presente!
―Ana Castillo, So Far From God and My Book of the Dead
Iris De Anda spews volcanic rage that has the potential to cauterize the bleeding heart of a severely wounded nation while roots of redemption are painfully taking hold.
―Rubén Funkahuatl Guevara, Confessions of a Radical Chicano Doo-Wop Singer.
