Sucursal de Estrella (Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series)

by Alvaro Cardona-Hine

Sucursal de Estrella brings together poems written since 1954 in Spanish by Alvaro Cardona Hine. Grouped into seven sections that embrace diverse forms and times, this multi-faceted work offers testimony of a return to his native tongue and the landscape of voices that constitute its memory. The pain of existence, a desperation before a world violated by man and, at the same time, a sense of humor, of the beauty of some past time, the love of creation, of a life shaped by an honesty of word and silence, these inspire, line after line, the texture of these poems.
