The poems in Soft Chaos embrace a wide variety of experiences - womanhood, motherhood, affection for the earth and animals, the author's love of the Native American way of life, and concern for
the future of the planet. Alma Luz Villanueva's poetry fuses the personal and the political, expressing the sensual world in abstract terms and revealing a belief in the power of words to
connect us to the world, to each other, and to ourselves.
