The Mountain in the Sea
Poems by Victor Hernández Cruz
Reviews
Library Journal:
"Mature and inspiring poetry for a global consciousness."
Ana Castillo:
"The Mountain in the Sea is an effervescent volcano of world connections to the mature poet’s Spanish Harlem roots. The ‘Portraits’ section contains energetic odes to the forming of the young poet, son muy ricos with remembrances for us all. It is always a treat to read Victor Hernández Cruz, among the best to come out of the Nuyorican experience."
Virgil Suárez:
"Victor Hernández Cruz has been singing and chanting like the tropical tomeguín since the Gods of Caribbean poetry designated him pantheon court bard. The poems in this new volume are absolutely marvelous and breathtaking in their range, vision, and scope. The Mountain in the Sea is the kind of collection to be expected from an older, much wiser poet in the autumn of their creative life, but this garland of sweet-scented gardenias disguised as poems comes to us from a poet who is always young, who is always hip to the vibrant language of one of the most beautiful regions of the world."
