"As tropical as it is topical, this landmark anthology gives voice to three powerful women poets from the Dominican Republic. Together they present a wide array of linguistic and stylistic elements, and they address shared political and cultural issues that illuminate what it means to be a woman in the modern-day Dominican Republic. Translator Judith Kerman, who began the anthology as a Senior Fulbright Scholar, notes that 'contemporary women poets from the Dominican Republic are the most underserved group when it comes to English-language translations.' This anthology remedies that omission with poetry that is smart, edgy, and groundbreaking."--Amazon.com.
