Reviews
Looking Within is a powerful book of selected poems and a wonderful contribution to the world of literature. Morejón's poetry is infused with an understanding of her African heritage and modern Cuban identity. Her poems capture the essence of encounters with family, friends, literature, art, landscapes, politics, history and Cuban reality. Her poems are lyrical, compassionate, complex and dazzling in their subtleties. This fine translated version of her work will encourage more research, more critical analysis and more dialogue among scholars of poetry and Latin American culture., Every student of literature and anyone else, anywhere in the world, who would claim to have any reading habits and some appreciation of poetry, must read Nancy Morejón. For your reading pleasure, your intellectual, emotional or spiritual enrichment, Nancy Morejón's poetry is as much a necessity as the food we need to nourish our bodies., This bilingual presentation and anthology of poems by Nancy Morejon...is a true celebration of her verse...Readers of both languages will rejoice., As a whole, the volume offers readers in both Spanish and English an opportunity to become acquainted in depth with the work of a poet, who, as Ruth Behar has commented, 'has opened bridges in many directions' (Bridges to Cuba/Puentes a Cuba). Morejón well deserves the many bridges that I hope Looking Within / Mirar Adentro will open for her."
Synopsis
The African Cuban poet Nancy Morejon set out at a young age to explore the beauty and complexities of the life around and within her. This anthology contains poems which present themes icluding: social and political concern, African identity, women's experiences, and hope for Cuba's future., The African Cuban poet Nancy Morejón set out at a young age to explore the beauty and complexities of the life around and within her. Themes of social and political concern, loyalty, friendship and family, African identity, women's experiences, and hope for Cuba's future all found their way into her poems through bold metaphor and tender lyricism. This panoramic anthology, selected from ten volumes of Morejón's work and organized by theme, contains some poems that have already been acclaimed in several languages, others that are less known, and some never before published. Overall they present to Morejón's readership an enhanced, broader, and updated spectrum of her poetry in a Spanish-English edition. Although Morejón does not sympathize as much with intellectualized feminism as with "street" feminism (the kind that erupts with force as it confronts daily life), her poems illuminate issues in women's existence. Without intending to, she has revitalized contemporary Caribbean feminist literary discourse. One can find in her work the tensions between colonizer and colonized, dominator and dominated, and at the same time enjoy the sheer beauty of images depicting suffering, strength, and hope., The African Cuban poet Nancy Morej'n set out at a young age to explore the beauty and complexities of the life around and within her.
