The anthology is an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large. "A masterwork of cartography: a map of what is, for English-language readers, an almost entirely unexplored territory, full of poets at home or in the diaspora whom we ought to know."—Eliot Weinberger This event has been organized in collaboration with the Cuban Cultural Center of New York Reservations: Americas Society Members: Reserve today at membersres@americas-society.org.
