  • Ringside with Cuba’s National Poet

    Marilyn MillerARTICLEHispania2015

    Nicolás Guillén’s “Pequeña oda a Kid Chocolate,” written in the late 1920s, is not only the celebrated Cuban author’s first “black poem,” but also foreshadows several central themes of his long career.

This recent shift in Manzano studies signals a growing recognition of the Cuban poet's circulation in an international a…
