At the Risk of Seeming Ridiculous: Poems from Cuba Libre

B.V. Olguin

4.9/5 (24323 ratings)

Description:Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. In the tradition of testimonial poets raulrsalinas, Carolyn Forche, Luis Rodriguez, Martin Espada, Roberto Vargas and other politically- engaged writers, B.V. Olguin has written a lyric testament to the resilience of the Cuban people and their revolutionary spirit that has inspired legions throughout the world to fight for justice. These poems explore the forty- five year history of the Venceremos Brigade, of which the author is a member, and their support of the Cuban Revolution's commitment to privileging people over profits. The poems bear witness to brigadista exhilaration at working alongside revolutionaries who fought with Che Guevara in Cuba, Africa and Latin America, meeting nurses, doctors and dentists returning from international missions in underdeveloped nations, and debating the responsibilities of intellectuals with American expatriates working and studying in Cuba. Olguin's poetry also examines profound contradictions emerging in the Special Period, the myriad cultural clashes and human frailties that emerge in collective contexts, as well as the true meaning of volunteer work and the role of art in society. Written in an engaging conversational style, the poems are rich in metaphor, deep in metaphysical meaning, and always grounded in the material realities of a revolutionary context where people must struggle daily to produce their own food and products while remaining prepared to repel another U.S. invasion.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
