Beneath the Spanish by Victor Hernandez Cruz
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.5 Mb
Overview: Praise for Victor Hernández Cruz:
“Bilingual since childhood, Mr. Cruz writes poems about his native Puerto Rico and elsewhere which often speak to us with a forked tongue, sometimes in a highly literate Spanglish. . . . He’s a funny, hard-edged poet, declining always into mother wit and pathos.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A fluent sensualist and rhythmic stylist.” —The Washington Post
“Like a salsa band leader coaxing and challenging dancers to more and more complex steps, Cruz dares readers with dizzying polyrhythms, polymetric stanzas, backstepping word structures and a sense of improvisation.” —Publishers Weekly
Beneath the Spanish tracks the way that languages intersect and inform each other, and how language and music shapes experience. Moving across landscapes from Puerto Rico to Manhattan to Morocco, these poems are one man’s history and a song that begs to be performed.
