A Little Body Are Many Parts
Legna Rodríguez Iglesias has quickly become one of the most celebrated Cuban poets writing today. Her intense - often confrontational - poetry refuses to conform, subverting expectations and challenging social mores. Co-published with The Poetry Translation Centre, this dual-language Spanish-English edition of her work follows Miami Century Fox (Akashic, 2017), winner of the 2016 National Poetry Series Paz Prize for Poetry.
My Favorite Girlfriend Was a French Bulldog
My Favorite Girlfriend was a French Bulldog is a novel told in fifteen stories, linked by the same protagonist, our narrator, who--in her own voice and channeling the voices of others--creates an unsparing, multigenerational portrait of her native Cuba. Though she feels suffocated by the island and decides to leave, hers is not just a political novel--nor just a queer novel, an immigrant novel, a feminist novel--but a deeply existential one, in which mortality, corporeality, bureaucracy, emotional and physical violence, and the American Dream define the long journey of our narrator and her beloved pet dog, who gives the book both its title and its unforgettable ending. In its daring style and structure--both playful and profound, youthful and mature - and its frank discussion of political and sexual identity, My Favorite Girlfriend was a French Bulldog marks the emergence of an original and essential new voice.
Título
Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. TÍTULO / TITLE is a book of poems by the Cuban poet, prose writer, and playwright Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, published here for the first time in Spanish, and in English translation by Katherine M. Hedeen. Rodríguez Iglesias belongs to the so-called Generation Zero in Cuba, those born after 1970 and who publish after 2000. After the fall of European socialism, Generation Zero grew up with little opportunities or future and its poetry embodies the crisis. TITLE does so by affirming a poetics of ugliness--the quotidian ugliness of poverty. Material need signals spiritual need. In an experimental, asphyxiating rush of repetition and enjambment, TITLE chronicles separation, alienation, unease, madness, illness while it presents readers with a unique vision of queerness, humanity, poetry. None of it is exceptional. These poems do not fall back on exotifying stereotypes. Instead, they offer a critical perspective of all sides. There is a brilliant grayness to this poetry that rejects how Cubans are supposed to write their reality, on either side of the Gulf.
Mi novia preferida fue un bulldog francés
El «tsunami Legna», una nueva y poderosa voz que llega de Cuba con un estilo radical y moderno que no se parece a ninguno, nos habla del sexo, el amor, la política y la vida cotidiana en Cuba como nunca antes se había hablado. ¿Qué supone abandonar el país de origen? ¿Qué supone volver? ¿Escribir? ¿Robar? ¿Mentir? ¿Traicionar? ¿Matar, si es necesario?

"Iglesias experiments with form while showcasing the philosophical and metaphorical possibilities of poetry in this winner of the 2016 National Poetry Series Paz Prize for Poetry. Faultlessly translated by Aparicio, the individual pieces in this book-length sequence of Petrarchan sonnets are each foregrounded by brief meditations, which often read as a commentary on the work's own movement through literary tradition...The experiment in form is a philosophical argument that poetry can contribute to what have traditionally been envisioned as purely scholarly conversations. Iglesias offers a vision of the subject as divided while showcasing the beauty inherent in this fracturing; the fragment i...

Transtucé (Second Edition)
¿A dónde orientan hoy los ojos telescópicos del roedor? ¿Cuba, Miami o Manhattan? Decídanlo al leer Transtucé, de Legna Rodríguez Iglesias. Estos poemas, a través de formas breves y calculada musicalidad, obligan a echar nuevas miradas a las políticas de territorio y los imaginarios de pertenencia. ¿Que si nos callamos ahora para que puedan leer? Por supuesto. Esperamos que los disfruten, porque, ¿dónde más van a leer sobre un Heidegger trotamundos que se pasea por el Caribe? (Cristian Lagunas)
