Miami Century Fox

By Legna Rodríguez Iglesias

Book Overview

"Miami Century Fox is Legna Rodr guez Iglesias's English debut, but by no means is she an emerging poet. Here's a voice that's seasoned and fierce, tender and sharp as a blade. I promise, dear readers, that you will not encounter another book quite like this, nor another poet quite like Legna Rodr guez Iglesias, ever again." --Achy Obejas, from the introduction

A bilingual--English and Spanish--collection by the 2017 winner of The Paz Prize for Poetry, Miami Century Fox is a delightful, seductive read. Sonnets? Rhyme and meter? Yes, along with a delicious serving of irony and wit. This is one very smart collection of poems--a loving and sly portrait of Miami and the immigrant experience in the twenty-first century.
