Poetry from New Beacon Books - A major poet of the 20th Century. Nicolás Cristóbal Guillén Batista was a Cuban poet, journalist, political activist, and writer. An influential campaigner for social justice, he is best remembered as the national poet of Cuba. His work examines what it was like to be poor and black in Cuba with themes of revolution and social protest. Guillen’s poetry is as well known as that of Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, or Cesar Vallejo. Trinidadian Dennis Sardinha provides us here with an analysis and introduction to Guillen’s poetry with an English translation along with the poems in their original Spanish.
