Always rebellious : selected poems, by Georgina Herrera, is a Spanish poetry collection from Cuba, translated by Maria Rodriguez-Alcala, published by Cubanabooks in 2014. It is a Cuban selected poems by Georgina Herrera, carrying Afro-Cuban, feminist, and historical force. Herrera’s poems matter because rebellion is not a pose here; it is memory, ancestry, survival, and a refusal to make pain polite. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved or reduced to context before it can begin working. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Cuba; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
