Bajo la luz d mi sangre / Under the light of my blood

The poems in Under the Light of my Blood seek to paint unsettling issues discovered in living memory, allowing them to awaken, like the life of the poet in Cuba, where Jorge Enrique was born. The texts become a search for identity, or an interior autobiography chronicling events that occurred between the poet's birth and his exile. Poetry takes as its premise that language is a medium for experiencing experiences.
