Alma Luz Villanueva is the quintessential feminist poet, continuously dedicated to her search for a universal female community. This celebration of all things feminine is an integral part of PLANET, her newest collection of poems. It has been coupled with her previously published and critically acclaimed MOTHER, MAY I ?, the groundbreaking autobiographical poem that recounts one woman's life of cyclic change and emergence to wholeness and hope as she redefines love and life and reexamines what it means to be female and male, juxtaposing ancient myths and the modern world.
