Selected by Cornelius Eady as winner of the Eighth Annual White Pine
Press Poetry Prize, this remarkable first book begins with Castillo's
Cuban childhood, and follows her family as they start over without a
language on one of the last Freedom Flights to Miami. The poems
chronicle the visit of a Cuban uncle, who's surrounded by relatives that
twenty years and English have turned into strangers, and Castillo's
bittersweet return to her homeland: Even a map cannot show you the way
back to a place that no longer exists.
