This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition  The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets  including such well-known figures as Nicols Guilln  Jos Lezama Lima  and Nancy Morejn  but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking worldamong them Fina Garca Marruz  Jos Kozer  Ral Hernndez Novs  and ngel Escobarand poets born since the Revolution  like Rogelio Saunders  Omar Prez  Alessandra Molina  and Javier Marimn. The translations  almost all of them new  convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture  many of these poetsboth on and off the islandhave been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba  its diaspora  and the Caribbean at large  and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984546689077,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520258940","price":28.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520258945.jpg?v=1770836870","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-whole-island-six-decades-of-cuban-poetry","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
