Coloqué sobre la mesa varios libros publicados por poetas de la «Bella». Me tumbé sobre el camastro como un Rey de los suburbios y sin mucho que exigirme comencé. Qué decepción. ¿Una poesía del lenguaje? ¿Qué lenguaje? ¿Un compendio de lo bello? ¿Qué belleza? De aquellas «maravillas» me quedé con «cuatro gatos», los otros con el fuego se expiaron.

<p>Text in Spanish. In 2002, while temporarily living in Europe (mostly Amsterdam), the poet Omar Pérez began writing in a notebook. His journey began as a short professional visit that shifted into something less defined after he fell in love. Eventually the notebook became Cubanology , a book of days reflecting on three years of life at a remove from the island: "A memory of a flight, a journey, jour." Along with registering common and uncommon vicissitudes of everyday life, the result presents a fusion of languages. Simultaneously national and polycultural, Cubanology streams poetic thought and experience, excerpts from other writings in progress, and the coalescence of a new islandic consciousness - scenes reminiscent of many-minded Odysseus, if home were heart. Visual material appearing throughout Cubanology blends Pérez's sketches with photographs from that period, as well as art he made after returning to his family home on Havana's iconic Malécon.</p>

<p>Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Kristin Dykstra. This book takes up the experiment of connecting Buddhist practices to an American landscape. In a 2008 interview Perez states, "If Buddhism is to have a role in Cuban life it must be in harmony with the basic ethical and natural values of this land; it must give, so to say, its blood and marrow to the soil." Perez seems to have thrown even "revolutionary" readers for a loop by pursuing that harmony, synthesizing island poetics with Zen Buddhism. What, asked his fellow writers, does Zen have to do with Cuba and its cultural traditions?</p>
