For some writers, writing is just part of the day job. But for Sandra Cisneros, the internationally celebrated author of House on Mango Street and Martita, I Remember You, writing is a matter of life and death.
“I found, especially when I went through severe depressions, it’s because I wasn’t writing,” Cisneros said. “I have gotten sick when I haven’t written in urgent times. I have nightmares, I have dreams. I always feel dreams are poems your body writes and you have to analyse them.”
