Cubanology [Spanish]

By Omar Pérez

In 2002, while temporarily living in Europe (mostly Amsterdam), the poet Omar P rez began writing in a notebook. His journey began as a short professional visit that shifted into something less defined after he fell in love. Eventually the notebook became Cubanology, a book of days reflecting on three years of life at a remove from the island: "A memory of a flight, a journey, jour." Along with registering common and uncommon vicissitudes of everyday life, the result presents a fusion of languages. Simultaneously national and polycultural, Cubanology streams poetic thought and experience, excerpts from other writings in progress, and the coalescence of a new islandic consciousness - scenes reminiscent of many-minded Odysseus, if home were heart. Visual material appearing throughout Cubanology blends P rez's sketches with photographs from that period, as well as art he made after returning to his family home on Havana's iconic Mal con.
