Join us as we celebrate the release of our newest book in translation, THE STAR SPANGLED BRAND, available for preorder now!

About the book: The Star-Spangled Brand by Marcelo Morales, translated by Kristin Dykstra, is a collection of prose poetry which tracks a city that changes–unless it does not. He began the book's composition during the 2010s with a long poem, "The Swan II," reflecting on everyday life and history in Havana. At the time, the world viewed Cuba as undergoing profound transformation. The end of this decade involved more large-scale shifts and conflicts, many driven by north/south relations. How would new events sculpt spaces around the love, fear, and needs of one single citizen?
