Red Beans
Poetry and prose by Victor Hernández Cruz

Publishers Weekly Book of the Year

"Tough, lyrical, rhythmic, lush, dead-pan funny and dead-pan beautiful—Red Beans is about the tropicalization and revitalization of the English language . . . it is filled with magical visions." –Jessica Hagedorn

Full of native intuitions, Caribbean musical rhythms, and Castilian and Moorish influences, Red Beans is a hearty concoction which spices up the English language with a rich combination of cultures and histories.
