Miami Century Fox-Quality Guarantee

Description

“Miami Century Fox is Legna Rodríguez Iglesias’s English debut, but by no means is she an emerging poet. Here’s a voice that’s seasoned and fierce, tender and sharp as a blade. I promise, dear readers, that you will not encounter another book quite like this, nor another poet quite like Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, ever again.” –Achy Obejas, from the introduction

A bilingual–English and Spanish–collection by the 2017 winner of The Paz Prize for Poetry, Miami Century Fox is a delightful, seductive read. Sonnets? Rhyme and meter? Yes, along with a delicious serving of irony and wit. This is one very smart collection of poems–a loving and sly portrait of Miami and the immigrant experience in the twenty-first century.
