Manual de Magia / Manual of Magic (Paperback)

Divided in three parts (Isis, Trinity and Key), Manual de magia/ Manual of Magic, one of the titles that earned her author the VIII "Ultimo Novecento" International Award in Pisa (1985), gathers 37 poems by Juana Rosa Pita that, as the first edition of Ambito Literario in Barcelona states, "constitutes a beautiful example of synthesis. All mechanistic rhetoric is left out of an optic whose horizon unites the tangible with the Utopian." Its translation into English by the late Donald D. Walsh in 1980, still unpublised, appears now alongside the Spanish originals, bearing witness to the luminous synthesis of the verse and the mastery of a tone which moves from the intimate to the collective and from the mythic to the personal, that caractherizes from the start the poetic language and style of this "outstanding voice of Cuba's Pilgrim culture" (in the words of Pablo Antonio Cuadra) whose poems have been included in important literary anthologies, from New Directions in Prose and Poetry 49 (New York 1985) to Otra Cuba secreta (Madrid 2011) and among whose 24 titles are Viajes de Penelope, Tela de concierto. Pensamiento del tiempo and Meditati, recently published in Italy in a bilingual edition.
