Maraca: New & Selected Poems, 1966-2000
Victor Hernández Cruz
Born in Puerto Rico in 1949, Cruz moved to New York at age six, but always remembered hearing novels and poems declaimed as the men in his family rolled cigars, and the children put little bands around them. Those memories continue to inform a body of work that has dazzled readers since he exploded onto the international scene with Snaps, from Random House in 1969.
