She is, right now, conscious lyrics. She has a body, apparently much older for the years, but with an internal volcano. Fina Garcia Marruz is the greatest of our poets alive, proud of Cuba and the Caribbean’s islands, crystal clean voice that plows the lands and seas, leaving and immaterial and moving trail.

She has chosen the shade, the rocking chair at the back at the yard, the opportune silence… But her poems reveal her as well as her illustrious essays, their transmutation in brightening circumstance phrases of her people, without an inefficient folklore, without banal games. Fina Garcia Marruz is a poet in essence.

It has been great the homage paid by Casa de las Americas with the most recent Author’s Week, just when the Latin American literary environment has recognized the extraordinary legacy of this Cuban. For instance, she has been candidate to Cervantes Award, and most of the people believe she deserves it.

During these activities, writers and specialists have discoursed on her undeniable contributions and Fina herself delivered a conference. The Literary Fund from Casa de las Americas launched one of her collection of poems: Creditos de Charlot (Charlot’s Credits).
