Victor Rodriguez Nunez is one of today's most outstanding Cuban
writers, although he has lived and worked outside of the island for
nearly two decades, first in Nicaragua and Colombia and, since
1995, in the USA. The present collection, based on his selected
poems "With a Strange Scent of World: First Anthology, 1978-1998"
(Havana, 2004), offers a representative sample, as well as a
rewriting, of his early poetic work.In an interview, Nunez
described his search for 'a poetry that is ...participatory yet not
political ...communicative yet not explicit...dialogic yet not
conversational, Cuban yet not essentially nationalist...' and in
her introduction to this volume, Katherine Hedeen provides us with
background detail that helps to set the poet's work in context. In
this first of Nunez's books to appear in English (in Katherine
Hedeen's skilful translation), we see poems that are at once
committed and experimental, where every limit is challenged, and
where emotion and lucidity come together.
