Literary and Cultural Journeys:
Selected Letters to Arturo Torres-Ríoseco. (with Miguel Angel Zapata). Translated
by Rosalie Torres-Ríoseco and Rose Passalacqua. Oakland:
Center for the Book, 1995., 234 pages. Include photos. Cover
Painting "El silencio y el hombre" by Jorge Valdivia
Carrasco. Letters from, among others, Mariano Azuela, Eduardo
Barrios, Marta Brunet, Camilo José Cela, Jorge Guillén,
Juan Ramón Jiménez, Cecilia Meireles, Gabriela
Mistral, Ernesto Sábato y Miguel de Unamuno.
The letters selected for this edition are linked by themes that
deal, in general, with literary creation. These letters possess
the power to transport the reader back to the time in which they
were written. This power arises not only from the content of
the letters but also from the extraordinary expressive talent
of those who wrote them. Many of these letters are written in
an informal tone and with a sense of humor in which word plays
and personal, literary, and historical references abound.

Series, 1997. 84 pages, in English. ISBN 0-932367-04-6. $9.95

Convinced that interviews provide valuable insights into the
life and works of a poet, Caulfield sought out five outstanding
Cuban women poets whose skillful cultivation of poetry and whose
multiplicity of perspectives have made a significant contribution
to Hispanic letters. In addition to the interviews, Caulfield
provides a biographical sketch of each poet followed by the interview.
Current bibliographies are supplied for each, listing works published
in English and Spanish. The result is a volume which serves as
an introduction to the lives, careers, and creative expressions
of five accomplished Cuban women poets in exile.

Poesía femenina cubana en Ediciones
Torremozas
No es de extrañar, dada
su calidad, el interés de esta editorial española
en la poesía escrita por mujeres en Cuba: Carlota Caulfield,
Minerva Salado, Uva de Aragón, Odette Alonso, (y dentro
de poco lo será Serafina Nuñez) han sido publicadas
dentro de esta colección de sobria y clásica belleza.
Comentemos hoy dos de sus últimos libros.
Comienzo con la antología Voces Viajeras (poetisas
cubanas de hoy) con selección y prólogo de
la también poeta y profesora Carlota Caulfield. Un tema
la unifica, y a la vez la enriquece. El deseo de dejar memoria
de la ciudad primera, crónica de las ciudades visitadas,
homenaje a la ciudad que nos acojeLas viajeras y poetas que aquí
se dan cita con Caulfield redimen en verso la precaria condición
de una cubanidad itinerante. Suerte que la metáfora, como
nos enseña María Zambrano, puede convertir el transitar
en trascender.
La selección recoje muestras de las obras de Juana Rosa
Pita, Minerva Salado, Magali Alibau, Maya Islas, María
Elena Blanco, Alina Galliano, Elena Tamargo, Odette Alonso, Damaris
Calderón. Trabajo ejemplar el de la antologadora no solo
por la calidad de los textos, sino también por el rigor
académico de su prólogo, y la cuidada selección
de bibliografía sobre el tema que lo acompaña.
Pero quizás la nota más original en la concepción
de este libro, es el espacio que concede a cada autora para definir
en sus propias palabras su poética, gesto feminista de
Caulfield que valida la voz singular dentro del colectivo. Entrega
entonces con sus Voces viajeras, los mejores poemas y
su "definición mejor".
