Poesía y poética del grupo Orígenes
"Considerada como una de las mejores revistas culturales de la lengua española de 1944 a 1956, Orígenes fue también una estética y una agenda de promoción cultural, que además de la literatura incluía la música y la pintura tanto de las Américas como de Europa. La centralidad de Lezama Lima, los nexos internacionales, el culto a la amistad como modus operandi, las revistas que anteceden el surgimiento de Orígenes (Verbum, Espuela de Plata, Nadie Parecía), el descubrimiento de la imagen, la presencia de Juan Ramón Jiménez, los contrastes entre Lezama y Virgilio Piñera, son, entre otros tópicos, discutidos en la introducción"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
The Whole Island
Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets ...

Rojas explores the most important themes of Cuban intellectual history, including the legacy of José Martí, the cultural effect of the war in 1898, the construction of a national canon of Cuban literature, the works of classical intellectuals of the republican period, the literary magazine Orígenes, the ideological impact of the Cuban Revolution, and the possibilities of a democratic transition in the island at the beginning of the twenty-firstcentury.

Fray
In 1974, women in a feminist consciousness-raising group in Eugene, Oregon, formed a mock organization called the Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society. Emblazoning its logo onto t-shirts, the group wryly envisioned female collective textile making as a practice that could upend conventions, threaten state structures, and wreak political havoc. Elaborating on this example as a prehistory to the more recent phenomenon of “craftivism”—the politics and social practices associated with handmaking—Fray explores textiles and their role at the forefront of debates about process, materiality, gender, and race in times of economic upheaval. Closely examining how amateurs and fine artists...
