Poetry. "Sandra M. Castillo is a tough, clear-eyed poet who is willing to gamble with passion (thank God!) in order to get the poem where it needs to go. In MY FATHER SINGS, TO MY EMBARRASSMENT, Fidel Castro, her family, the shores of Cuba and the United States are stirred into what she names 'this blood soup/ the paradoxes of our lives.' Here is a poet who can make Cuban and Cuban-American history link arms and dance" -Cornelius Eady.
