description: The first available English translation of this work shares numerous selections of the author's most popular poems. A cultural icon in her native Cuba, Loynaz's poetry was considered taboo because of its individualistic, apolitical preoccupations. This collection contains poems from each of Loynaz's books, including the acclaimed prose poems from Poems with No Names, a selection of posthumously published work.
