Interview: “The Sacred Work of Sandra Cisneros”
Angélica Paljor wrote this interview with Sandra Cisneros published in August, 2022 on Lion’s Roar entitled, “The Sacred Work of Sandra Cisneros.” The author speaks candidly about her own struggles, and how writing has been a practice that has helped transform them.

Cisneros' example is vital as students work on developing their own voice, and considering how their view and self-expression are inextricable.
