The image of the \"wise fish\" is recurrent in these poems, a witness whose eyes were never closed to the perilous journeys that brought so many to the shores of Miami. Tempered by loss and infused with the musicality of the oral tradition, this collection heralds the vibrant Afro-Latino-Caribbean culture emerging from the migratory experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrian Castro\u003c\/b\u003e, a Cuban-Dominican performance poet and Ifa priest from Miami, writes as if \"Chano Pozo were hitting the keys of a typewriter instead of the skin of a drum.\" \u003ci\u003eWise Fish\u003c\/i\u003e is his second collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Castro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566891728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566891721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.62w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2005 pg. 68","brand":"Adrian Castro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078430093567,"sku":"9781566891721","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_989fad0e-d52b-486a-9dad-d00ca4fdb845.jpg?v=1685475465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wise-fish-adrian-castro-9781566891721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
