For Saenz and Anzaldua, what does it mean to write from a place of truth? Why is that important?
Quotes provided: "I cling to my culture because it is my memory - and what is a poet without memory? I cling to my my culture because it is my skin, because it is my hart, because it is my voice, because it breathes my mother's mother's mother into me. My culture is the genesis and the center of my writing - the most authentic space I have to write from" (Saenz 525)
