This book presents the groundbreaking Destructivist Poetics of multidisciplinary artist and scholar Tina Escaja. "Destructivismo," a movement founded by Escaja (AKA Alm@ Perez) in 2014 with a poetic action in Vicente Huidobro's grave, has become very influential in contemporary Spanish and Latin America poetry.

Peer to Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Octavio Paz, Alvaro Mutis is indisputably one of the greatest Latin American authors of the 20th century and this collection brings together the best of Mutis' largely-unknown body of poetry.

While older generations of Cuban poets have wrestled in their work with social and political critique, those critiques have often been articulated through formal experimentation and abstraction,...

Published in Spanish as Otras cartas a Milena, Other Letters to Milena shows Rodriguez confronting pressing issues at the turn of the twenty-first century. These involve a new post-Soviet world and the realities of diasporic existence, which have a profound effect even on people like Rodriguez who have not migrated but continue to live and work in their home nation. The book's title references Franz Kafka, whose Letters to Milena was published after his death in 1952. This signals that Rodriguez participates in her city's long cosmopolitan tradition asserted by Cuban...
