Delicates, a collection of poems by Wendy Guerras, is now available in English for the first time. These poems are filled with a sensuality reminiscent of the work of Anaïs Nin, taking readers on an exhilarating journey through the cities of love. In these captivating verses, Guerras explores the complex and multifaceted relationship she has with her native Cuba, much like her relationships with men. Through her powerful metaphors and vivid imagery, she invites readers to immerse themselves in her gallery of striking and thought-provoking poems. From witnessing a breathtaking flight from a thirty-fourth-story window to embarking on a pilgrimage to the salt flats to taste the pink in stones on her lover's behalf, Guerras's work takes us on a journey of exploration and revelation.
Her poetry confronts the realities of a political system that does not celebrate artistic freedom, offering a fresh perspective on a woman, an artist, a country, and the colonizers of that country. In these music-infused poems, Guerras shares her hard-won truths, providing a deeper understanding of her experiences and perspectives. Delicates is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the power of poetry to capture the essence of human experience and challenge societal norms.
