Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. African American Studies. Bilingual edition. Translated into Spanish by Maria Teresa Ortega. A selection from ten books by Sekou, with introduction and notes by leading Cuban literary critic Emilio Jorge Rodriguez. Defiance, movement, and renewal are three words that come to mind when reading PELICAN HEART. While the poems themselves defy an easy classification, the collection proposes a new way to 'travel' and 'read' the Caribbean world and beyond. --Ivette Romero- Cesareo
