Guerra's relationship with her native Cuba--much like her relationships with men--is complex and multilayered. Her work confronts the realities of a political system that doesn't celebrate artistic freedom. Here we have a new way of looking at a woman, an artist, a country, and the colonizers of that country. In these music-infused poems, Guerra shares with us her hard-won truths. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWendy Guerra \u003c\/b\u003eis a poet and novelist whose books include the novels \u003ci\u003eI Was Never the First Lady\u003c\/i\u003e and the poetry collections \u003ci\u003ePlatea a oscuras\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCabeza rapada\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRopa interior\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eNancy Naomi Carlson\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, translator, and essayist.
