This masterful blend of Latin sensibilities with English-language poetry resonates with our rich, multicultural heritage.
Written in English but infused with a sense of Spanish rhythms and history, the 'Floating Island' is equally an echo of Whitman, Ginsberg and Walcott. 'The coffee has redeemed itself by now./ I am awake enough to see you walking/ down the street to your apartment/exhausted like a sparrow/after long work in the tenements.'
