Matters of the Sea/Cosas del Mar: A Poem Commemorating a New Era in Us-Cuba Relations by Richard Blanco

Matters of the Sea - Cosas del Mar is a stunning work, hope crystallized into reality and carried into verse by Richard Blanco. The Spanish translation, by Ruth Behar, is itself a work of art, a reminder that translation is an underappreciated art form.
