Havana, Miramar

Description: In Cuba, 'poet' is not just a condition of the soul, a nickname to give to a dreamer who spends time playing with words and earns a living doing something else. In Cuba, one is a poet and a writer by vocation, talent, and a social status recognized by the island's cultural institutions. [...] Pablo Armando Fernandez, among the deans of Cuban poetry, claims that his poems are dictated to him by mysterious spirits, perhaps by the orishas of the Afro-Cuban tradition: "There is someone inside me who tells and says how I must write. That is why my poetry is as fluid as a river and rejects hermeticism." This book, which features his poems illustrated by drawings by Massimo Pompeo, as proof of a beautiful partnership between two artists from distant countries, is another opportunity to get to know him.
