Recurring throughout these poems is the image of the wise fish, a witness whose eyes were never closed to the perilous journeys that brought so many to the shores of North America, creating a vibrant Afro-Latino-Caribbean culture tempered by loss and memory. Infused with the musicality of the oral tradition, this collection gives voice to the great courage and tragedy of those who weather the migratory experience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Cuban-Dominican poet and Ifa priest from Miami, Adrian Castro writes as if \"Chano Pozo were hitting the keys of a typewriter instead of the skin of a drum.\" He has performed at the Nuyorican Poets' Café in New York, Naropa Institute in Boulder, the Hemingway Literary Festival in Chicago, and the Miami Book Fair International.
