Sed Infinita (Infinite Thirst) is not the kind of book you simply read and place on a shelf. Even though some of its poems speak of forgetting, Camagüey-born author Jesús Aismar Zamora has crafted a volume you’ll want to keep close—one to share with those friends who carry impossible longings.

Despite current economic constraints, Camagüey has decided to go ahead with its Culture Week, scheduled for February 1st–7th, as an exercise in responsibility and identity.

At times, it felt as if the entrance to the Julio Antonio Mella Provincial Library was no longer in Camagüey but at a crossroads of centuries: ancient Greece, nineteenth-century Cuba, Dickens’s Europe, Eva Perón’s Argentina, Gaitán’s Colombia.
