Buscando la luz es una recopilación de poemas que nació de la inspiración que los sentimientos adversos le entregaban a la autora. Así pues, sus experiencias marcan notoriamente un contraste de fuertes emociones que van desde la nostalgia hasta alegres momentos haciendo que, a través de sus escritos, el lector llegue a tocar su alma y a entenderla en su sentir, sumergiéndole en un mundo donde sin duda se va persiguiendo esa luz que nos da la quietud de la paz espiritual que todos deseamos alcanzar algún día. Las fases de la obra van desde una adolescente que va por la vida conociendo su arritmia hasta una mujer que sabe lo que quiere y se dirige en busca de ello, "su propia luz interior", los invito a conocer un poco más de esta autora que con verdadera pasión logra sellar con tinta y en papel.

Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets born since the Revolution, like Rogelio Saunders, Omar Pérez, Alessandra Molina, and Javier Marimón. The translations, almost all of them new, convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture, many of these poets—both on and off the island—have been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large, and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.
