Poems from a critically acclaimed Cuban writer available in English for the first time.
In these music-infused poems, Guerra shares with us her hard-won truths..
Here we have a new way of looking at a woman, an artist, a country, and the colonizers of that country.
Her work confronts the realities of a political system that doesn\'t celebrate artistic freedom.
Guerra\'s relationship with her native Cuba--much like her relationships with men--is complex and multilayered.
Guerra\'s shocking metaphors and images invite us to enter her gallery of striking and provoking poems where we witness a flight through the air from a thirty-fourth-story window and a woman\'s pilgrimage to the salt flats to taste the pink in stones on her lover\'s behalf.
Imbued with a sensuality reminiscent of the work of Anaïs Nin, Wendy Guerra\'s Delicates takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the cities of love, where women leave their bodies in the showers of men, marking their territory like animals in heat, their panties saturated with sand and a sidereal isolating odor.
