Ropa interior / Underwear
Poetry , 2008
Bruguera
The author’s first poetry book published outside of Cuba deals with insularity, loss, feelings of love, and the longing for fulfilment. She opens with a very incisive quotation in which Anaïs Nin recounts a visit to a famous publisher who, when returning her manuscript, throws it on the table and says ‘Madam, do please remove your underwear from here’.
