Summary:

Renowned for his pioneering mixture of both Spanish and English in poetry and prose, Victor Hernandez Cruz has now incorporated Arabic language and North African culture into his unique poetic idiom. As Cruz builds poetic bridges between Arab-influenced Spain, Spanish-influenced North Africa, African-influenced Puerto Rico, and an electrified Latino New York, he uncovers the confluence between their various geographies, histories, languages, and mythologies. B Victor Hernandez Cruz moved to New York at the age of five and now divides his time between Morocco and Puerto Rico, where he was born. Featured in Bill Moyers' The Language of Life series, Cruz's most recent collection, Maraca, was a finalist for the Lenore Marshall and Griffin poetry prizes.
