Margaret Randall discusses and reads from "Only the Road/Solo el Camino" (Duke University Press, 2016), the most complete bilingual anthology of Cuban poetry available to an English readership. The book features the work of more than 50 poets writing across the last eight decades. It is distinguished by its stylistic breadth and the diversity of its contributors, who come from throughout Cuba and its diaspora and include luminaries, lesser-known voices and several Afro-Cuban and LGBTQ poets. Nearly half of the poets in the collection are women.
