Sucursal de Estrella brings together poems written since 1954 in Spanish by Alvaro Cardona Hine. Grouped into seven sections that embrace diverse forms and times, this multi-faceted work offers testimony of a return to his native tongue and the landscape of voices that constitute its memory. The pain of existence, a desperation before a world violated by man and, at the same time, a sense of humor, of the beauty of some past time, the love of creation, of a life shaped by an honesty of word and silence, these inspire, line after line, the texture of these poems.
A native of Costa Rica, Alvaro Cardona-Hine has lived in the United States since 1939. He has published seventeen books of poetry, prose, and translation. He lives in the village of Truchas, New Mexico, where he makes his living as a painter with his wife Barbara McCauley.
