Agua santa =

the long version

From a tribute to Frida Kahlo to advice from an Aztec goddess, award-winning Chicana poet Pat Mora explores the intimate and sacred spaces of borderlands. With warmth, joy, and humor, she delicately transforms often bitter struggles through many voices - a revolutionary, a laborer, a domestic worker and border patrol guard, a widow. Mora pays tribute to women - women who nurture, resist, and bridge cultures on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border and throughout the world.
