{"product_id":"90-miles-virgil-suarez-9780822958802","title":"90 Miles: Selected and New Poems","description":"Ninety miles separate Cuba and Key West, Florida. Crossing that distance, thousands of Cubans have lost their lives. For Cuban American poet Virgil Su\\u00e1rez, that expanse of ocean represents the state of exile, which he has imaginatively bridged in over two decades of compelling poetry. \\u0022Whatever isn't voiced in time drowns, \\u0022 Su\\u00e1rez writes in \\u0022River Fable, \\u0022 and the urgency to articulate the complex yearnings of the displaced marks all the poems collected here. 90 Miles contains the best work from Su\\u00e1rez's six previous collections: You Come Singing, Garabato, In the Republic of Longing, Palm Crows, Banyan, and Guide to the Blue Tongue, as well as important new poems. At once meditative, confessional, and political, Su\\u00e1rez's work displays the refracted nature of a life of exile spent in Cuba, Spain, and the United States. Connected through memory and desire, Caribbean palms wave over American junk mail. Cuban mangos rot on Miami hospital trays. William Shakespeare visits Havana. And the ones who left Cuba plant trees of reconciliation with the ones who stayed. Courageously prolific, Virgil Su\\u00e1rez is one of the most important Latino writers of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virgil Suarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822958805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822958802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2005 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/19\/2009","brand":"Virgil Suarez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190579884287,"sku":"9780822958802","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae04438f-4713-4b91-9d9b-9c092131b216.jpg?v=1690871287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/90-miles-virgil-suarez-9780822958802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
