“Cruz’s tightly constructed study of incarcerated sisters provides the spine for an authentic study of oppression that bends but never breaks the human spirit.”— “He is that rare American scribe who embraces the role of stage poet and the legacy of Tennessee Williams.”— “Cruz explores all kinds of loss . . . lost childhood, lost freedom, lost innocence. Yet he infused with joy, with desire, with humor and hope and healing.”— “Like Lorca, Cruz is a lyrical writer in whom the surreal is grounded in the musical world of the senses . . . it is fresh, wonderful and dazzling.”— (Oregon)
