Winner of the Canadian Jewish Literary Award for Poetry The poems in Swoon speak to the steady wending of a life's thematic drama: the falling / rising permutations across biographical phases. Indications are filtered through relationship, encounter, art, the natural world, and dream. Associations coalesce in a rhythmic clocking of feeling / thought. Randomness and accident may have a part to play, destiny and mystery, too; suggestion of a plot. There's storyline unfolding that resists a denouement.

This collection showcases a unique blend of poetry and art, curated by Cuban editor Miguel Ángel Olivé Iglesias. It highlights the rich cultural expressions of Cuba, featuring diverse voices and artistic styles that reflect the island's vibrant heritage. The interplay between the written word and visual art invites readers to explore themes of identity, resilience, and creativity, offering a profound glimpse into the artistic landscape of Cuba.
