70 reviewsSainz creates assemblages of spiky surfaces & eye-catching asymmetries. . . . having her poetry both ways, alternating an idiosyncratic squint with an eye for geopolitical change & mercurial family dynamics. — Poetry Foundation
Sugar is a recurring motif in this debut collection by the daughter of Cuban exiles, whose poems address life after the revolution & especially the role of women.—The NY Times Book Review
"Marvelous."—Terrance Hayes
°°°
Taking its title from Hemingway's The Old Man & the Sea, Leslie Sainz's Have You Been Long Enough at Table explores the personal and historical tragedies of the Cuban American experience through a distinctly feminine lens. Formally diverse with echoes of Spanish throughout, this debut collection critiques power and patriarchy as weaponized by the governments of the United States & the Republic of Cuba. In investigating the realities of displacement and inherited exile, Sainz honors her imagined past, present, & future as a result of the "revolution within the revolution"—the emancipation of Cuban women.Through lyric & associative meditations, Sainz anatomizes the unique grief of immigrant daughters, as her speakers discover how family can be a microcosm of the very violence that displaced them. What emerges is a spiritual blueprint for disinheritance, radical self-determination, & the nuanced examinations of myth, ritual, & resistance.
