Burnt Sugar Cana Quemada: Contemporary Cuban Poetry in English and Spanish

"This is a fascinating collection that brings together writers from Cuba as well as those living in the diaspora. It underscores the many strains of Cuban poetry and its unique place in Hispanic literature. The anthology is an open invitation to know more about the authors included, to better acquaint ourselves with their work and contemporary Cuban poetry." -- Raquel Chang-Rodríguez, Distinguished Professor, The City College Graduate Center, CUNY"There are many wonderful revelations in this seductive collection, but perhaps the greatest comes from the bittersweet taste of Cuba with which it leaves us -- the sense of the beloved island, forever present in the poetic act of remembering." -- Wendy Gimbel, author of Havana Dreams
