HOW TO GET INTO TROUBLE will delight you in every possible wicked (and sacred) way! Tres Abuelas y Una Mamá weave their poetry magic, collaborating on poems so sly you’ll never be sure which mamá wrote which (witch?) line. Now that you’ve had your cake and eaten it too, surrender to the wiles of your foolhardy heart and go wherever she wants to go. When the poets go solo (each poem is identified by initials) you still feel the influence of the other mamás. This is a gem of a chapbook with great advice — Call upon a fairy who is yourself. You’ll find yourself reading and chuckling then wanting to write poems, too, to join in the mischievous fun. —Denise Duhamel

Myth America is a tour de force. Four nationally acclaimed and emerging poets from diverse backgrounds and generations merge to create a remarkable collaboration. Maureen Seaton, Holly Iglesias, Carolina Hospital and Nicole-Hospital Medina call themselves "Tres abuelas y una mama." For two years these poets meet once a week to tackle old and new ways of poetic experimentation. Through shared lines or shared themes, sonnets, pantoums, triptychs, and haibuns, this compilation takes on historic, domestic and civic violence, mental health, and feminism. These masterful poems are political and existential, as well as intimate and spiritual. In an age of growing discord, this book’s transcendental force lies in its banded energy.

A LITTLE LOVE
"Equipped with more twists and turns than a telenovela, and generously salted with Spanish and Spanglish phrases, this lighthearted debut novel resembles a Hispanic Joy Luck Club crossed with Laverne and Shirley...this is a tart, mischievously funny narrative, clever, warmhearted and true to its richly textured protagonists."

THE CHILD OF EXILE: A POETRY MEMOIR
With stunning and sharp beauty, Hospital's poems conjure a community caught between conflicting myths and cultures. She spins a wide range of themes: love and betrayal, motherhood and sacrifice, creation and the quest for faith, and loss of communication. In the end, this poetry memoir provides consolation, for it is in the common condition of exile and yearning to belong that we connect as human beings.

A CENTURY OF CUBAN WRITERS IN FLORIDA
A Century of Cuban Writers explores the intricate connection that has existed between Florida and Cuba for centuries by collecting the works of thirty-three Cuban writers who lived or live today in Florida. Among these, we find some of the most important Cuban men and women of letters, such as Felix Varela, Jose Marti, Juana Borrero, Enrique Labrador Ruiz, Herberto Padilla, Hilda Perera, Jose Yglesias, and Ricardo Pau-Llosa. This book brings together their voices to create a remarkable literary journey through history. The works are presented in English, most translated here for the first time. The editors also provide a comprehensive introduction, which examines the historical importance of the Cuban contribution to Florida's heritage. Both the literary works and the insightful introduction make this book a major addition to history, as well as the literary arts.
LOS ATREVIDOS: CUBAN AMERICAN WRITERS
"This anthology began the groundwork for uniting Cuban American writers in the US. Carolina Hospital was the first to bring together these writers under one publication. Included are such prolific writers as Gustavo Perez-Firmat, Pablo Medina, Roberto Fernandez, Ricardo Pau-Llosa. Cuban American Writers: Los Atrevidos contains short stories, novel excerpts and poetry by these writers. The theme varies from a longing for Cuba or losing the culture of the past to the difficulties experienced by exiled writers dealing with a foreign "sometimes distant" culture. It is still my favorite book of the probably thousands or so I have read. " - Jose Carmona
