Description
Summary:Hedeen and Nunez detail the situation of Cuban poets. It's not a cliche by any means to declare that few times in its history has Cuban poetry been more varied, innovative, critical, and attractive than it is right now. And an undeniable part of it is the verse written by what has been called Generation Zero (Generacion Cero), poets born after 1970 and who began publishing after 2000. This translated selection was compiled having read over sixty books, tens of anthologies, and numerous journals and magazines. While the only way to truly do justice to this poetry would be with a' monograph or book-length anthology their aim here is to simply introduce it to English-speaking readers.
