Named one of Library Journal’s Top 20 Poetry Books of 1998Winner of the 1997 Agnes Lynch Starrett PrizeRunner up for the Great Lakes Colleges Association 1999 New Writers AwardCity of a Hundred Fires presents us with a journey through the cultural coming of age experiences of the hyphenated Cuban-American. This distinct group, known as the Ñ Generation (as coined by Bill Teck), are the bilingual children of Cuban exiles nourished by two cultural currents—the fragmented traditions and transferred nostalgia of their parents' Caribbean homeland and the very real and present America where they grew up and live.
