"Codex of Love: Bendita ternura is a migration of spirit. Liliana Valenzuela takes us by the hand and
shows us where she comes from, where she's been, and where she is through a collection that at times
reads like a song and other times like a prayer. Valenzuela's voice whispers to us and gives us pleasure.
She is kind in her sensuality and transcendent in the matters of the heart. The five sections in the
collection are as visual as they are thought-provoking, through a metaphorical journey that's tender and
urgent. A well thought and written poetic entree for the starving reader."

"Sagrada familia es un poemario que va de Dios a la nada, que en el fondo es quizás lo mismo. Pero el Dios de Sagrada familia no es el terrible padre celestial del Antiguo Testamento, sino un Dios hembra: redentora, protectora, y creadora. Con una métrica cuidada, la autora de Sagrada familia fluctúa entre lo divino y lo teológico, y lo terrenal y humano.

From the introduction by Rigoberto González: I Offer My Heart as a Target is a book of victory over silence and the truest testament to what it means to outlive that which has defeated or deflated many. If there’s a spirit guiding the courage embedded in its pages, it must be the phoenix, the miraculous being that rises from the ashes reborn, or rather, pieced together again. The heart beats once more. The woman reclaims the word.

"Facing page translations from the Spanish by the author. These sensuous and passionate poems explore one of the many strands of contemporary Latino immigrant experience, dancing the tropical sensibility of Puerto Rico among Chicago's concrete and broken glass."

"Querido Voyeur invita a fisgonear por la mirilla del lugar donde guardamos nuestros más íntimos secretos. El lector es nuestro voyeur con el cual compartimos nuestra intimidad. La casa es símbolo de nuestro ser, y las tareas hogareñas y cotidianas son momentos de instrospección. La poesía es la diosa y la enemiga que nos mantiene desvelados, pero es con la palabra que desnudamos el pudor, la mentira y los sueños para alcanzar la libertad."
