Estévez Always Walking on the Grass
Estévez Always Walking on the Grass
In this poetic essay Nancy Morejón describes meeting Rolando Estévez and Alfredo Zaldívar for the first time, while she reflects on Vigía’s publication of her poetry. She situates her own relationship with her once unsung publishers, who, by opening a new frontier in expressivity, successfully managed to make do with the stifling shortages of the so-called Special Period, a time when Cuba’s printers gave top priority to producing books for mass education. She also discusses Estévez’s art of bookmaking and its historical and spatial contexts in the cities of Matanzas and Havana. Furthermore, Morejón ponders on the significance of nature and death in all of Estevez’s creations.
