Itinerario del olvido / Itinerary of Forgetting is a sixteen-part series from Nelson Sim n\'s award-winning collection A la sombra de los muchachos en flor, which won both the Juli n del Casal Poetry Prize from La Uni n de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba and later the Premio de la Cr tica Literaria.

Sim n\'s work tackles both homosexuality & politics (an act both bold and brave for an openly gay writer in Cuba in the late 90s) while at the same time situating itself within the lyric traditions of both Cuba and the larger Spanish-speaking world.
Itinerary of Forgetting is Sim n\'s first publication in English and has been translated by Lawrence Schimel.
