Divided into eight chapters with such provocative headings as "They Say I'm No Lady," "No Te Dejes/My Line in the Sand," "Pray For Us Women," "Forget the War, So We Can Remember It," and "Las Nalgas de JLo/JLo's Booty," each chapter begins with a previously unpublished poem. While most of the 61 columns and articles included in this book were published in the
