In \u003ci\u003eBurnt Sugar, \u003c\/i\u003e bestselling translator Lori Marie Carlson and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Oscar Hijuelos have created an intimate collection of some of their favorite modern poems, all of which are informed by \u003ci\u003ecubanía\u003c\/i\u003e -- the essence of what it means to be Cuban. \"Cuban\" in this sense refers neither to ideology nor to geography but rather to the distinguishing characteristics of Cuban poetry as it has developed over time: clever verbal play, overt rhythmic notes, and an intensity of longing, whether religious, political, or amorous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Many of these poems have never been translated into English before, and taken together they, as the editors say, \"produce a vibrant, satisfying sound and vivid imagery. They allow for some understanding of modern-day preoccupations, contradictions, feelings, and attitudes considered to be Cuban.\" Stirring, immediate, and universal in its sensibility, \u003ci\u003eBurnt Sugar\u003c\/i\u003e is a luminous collection lovingly compiled by two of the world's foremost authorities on the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Marie Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.74w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743276627","brand":"Free Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713538297993,"sku":"9780743276627","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0da57251-003d-4cbf-a49d-c789ec50c1df.jpg?v=1719614840","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/burnt-sugar-cana-quemada-contemporary-cuban-poetry-in-english-and-spanish-9780743276627","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
