Cuban American Theater brings together six plays on the Cuban American experience. Here are presented dramatically the themes of exile, culture clash, the generation gap and discrimination, along with the full gamut of concerns about art, theatre and life itself. The plays vary in format from conventional two act realism, to absurdist theatre and, of course, to Cuban musical farce (teatro bufo), which accounts for some of the humor and characterization. Professor Rodolfo J. Cortina has provided an introduction to situate this theatrical production within an historical and aesthetic context. In all respectsÑ linguistic, artistic and philosophicalÑ Cuban American Theater is the first of its kind, a truly historical and ground-breaking document.

It is long after dark when they arrive at the homestead. Martin knocks frantically on the front door. Almost immediately, the door opens. There stands Martin with his clothes, still drenched in blood. The farmer and his wife stand before him shocked. The woman screams when she sees the blood. Deep grooves are engraved on Martin’s pale face, from grief and suffering. ‘Sir, please can you help me? My baby fell off the wagon, and the iron wheels have crushed him. My wife faints continually, and I haven’t got anywhere else to go,’ Martin pleads with the farmer.

Poetry book on love, loss, pain, optimism, and everything in between. This book is a piece of me, a glimpse into my heart, my mind. It is a skim thru my diary, if you may. I am giving you more than I've given those who have been next to me in bed. The truth. Unadulterated...Unapologetic. And that is the true accomplishment I feel in my work. That's what I would hope people grasp...The way I've pushed my heart out for all to see. Thank you for taking the time to join me in my journey. The 20's are hell, right? Nah, I can't say it was all hell. I must say, I enjoyed many of these moments. Even the pain--to be honest...I do love to revel in self-pity sometimes. I think, in some ways, pain defined me, gave me a purpose and meaning. But, now I am in a new place with new worries and new joys, feel free to take the journey with me...

While studying in India, the ancient spiritual knowledge revealed to me that everything in this creation is made up of and is under the control of The Five Elements. Countless ancient traditions and civilizations have pointed to the greatness, profundity, and perfection of nature. It was through the combination of my fire element, my passion, and my will power, as well as the meditation and purification practices given to me by my guru Kaleshwar that resulted in a silence and peace deep within me. I began to have experiences that grew quickly and did not leave me. They built themselves, one upon another, revealing to me that I had become reconnected and reintroduced to the peace and information inside of The Five Elements. When I was able to reconnect to this vast and powerful inner silence through The Five Elements and through the unbelievable patience and grace of my teacher, it felt like opening a vault with limitless amounts of energy and unconditional love. It was a process where layers and layers of doubt, fear, sadness, pain, anger, judgment, and confusion were removed. This process required a lot of journaling, meditation, and shedding of my ego and lots of waterproof mascara.
