The Mountain in the Sea
Victor Hernandez Cruz
- Long known for his pioneering mixtures of both Spanish and English and poetry and prose probing the confluence and conflict between diverse cultures in Latin America and the US, Cruz has now incorporated the Arabic language and North African (particularly Moroccan) culture into his new work, opening the door for a whole new audience. Like Quincy Troupe, Cruz is a dynamic performer and great interview subject-his US tour should garner plenty of attention from both Spanish and English-language media. 2. Cruz’s work is already taught in Latin American Studies and creative writing programs at both the secondary school and university levels. His poem, The Problem with Hurricanes is used on reading comprehension tests throughout the country. 3. Maraca, Cruz’s most recent book, was a finalist for two prestigious awards, the Lenore Marshall and Griffin Poetry Prizes. This collection should be a strong candidate for award attention as well.
