This book taps into the heart and soul of anyone who has ever been in love. This includes both relationships that have succeeded and those that have soured. The poems are not only about love in relationships, but also love of nature, family, and life itself.

The author tries to incorporate a variety of styles of poetry, such as sonnets and romances, among others. She modestly admits that she is by no means an expert in these classical styles. However, they are definitely among her favorites and she wants to share them with you.

Many poems in this book of poetry and a short story were motivated by past and present dreams that the author has transposed into words and two languages (English and Spanish). The author turned those dreams into poems and managed to introduce her culture, people from her old neighborhood, relationships, memories of loved ones, and love at its highest and lowest. It's a poetic journey giving the reader a taste of life with its twists and turns.

The short (and only) story in the book, "Lila Archmon" is filled with descriptive words that takes the reader onto a dream-like passage of fantasy transporting them into the garden with Lila and her precious friends. The poem "Salsa" introduces the reader to a dance that has withstood the passage of time - it is certainly a "feast" for all. "Soy Boricua" expresses the pride of being Boricua and gives a history as to the roots of the Puerto Rican. The two poems (and title of the book) "Daughter of the Sun I and II" can be interpreted by the readers, as they desire. When various people were asked to give their meanings of the poems, the multitude and variety of renditions were astounding.

The Entrant and Other Poems traces the life of the poet from his early days in the then British Colony of Trinidad and Tobago to the present time. Insights into his experiences as a Catholic student priest at the Archdiocesan seminary in the sixties, experiences as a black power activist and his involvement in African based spiritual practices during the early seventies, his recommitment to Christ as the central figure of his life in the mid-seventies and onwards are captured in this anthology. The anthology is divided into six sections, Early Days, Student Priest, Black Power Days, Moments, Transition and In Christ.

Early Days celebrates the poet’s life on an island then ruled by Britain, a reality of which he and his childhood friends were hardly aware. This section celebrates the phenomenon of Play and the dimension of Innocence. It is followed by the section, The Entrant, which traces his entry as a student priest into the seminary, his inner struggles to cope with contradictions experienced, his “dark night of the soul” and mystical experience, and his ‘loss of faith’. Black Power Days marks the poet’s involvement in the Black Power movement of the early seventies in Trinidad and Tobago, underpinned by his role as cultural officer of the National Joint Action Committee (NJAC) to which reference is made in the poem, From the Palais, in the section Transition. The section, Moments, is the poet’s expression of various themes which do not necessarily fit into the otherwise autobiographical outline of the anthology. Transition captures the poet’s involvement in the Shango Baptist (now known as Orisha) African based belief system and subsequently the Shouter Baptist church, largely Christian in orientation with elements of African retentions. In Christ celebrates the poet’s recommitment to the Lord of his life.

Anisotrópico es una colección de más de cien poemas cargada de sentimiento y a veces desesperación. El autor abarca temas universales tales como el tiempo, la muerte, la nostalgia por el pasado, el amor, la pasión carnal, los hijos, la incertidumbre frente a la vida, la esperanza, la existencia humana y divina, la amistad, la naturaleza y el cosmos entre otros. El titulo deriva de esa caracter’stica innata y básica que, al parecer del autor, define la existencia: lo no-homogéneo, lo dispar. A partir de ese concepto de inhomogeneidad existencial el autor evoca y descarga en forma poética sus propias anisotrop’as. Al hacerlo así, desnuda sus alegrías y pesares frente al mundo recordando al lector que de lo distinto, de lo anisotropico, surge la vida y la verdad....

Fulgor Tras el Espejo es un libro de poesia muy singular. Escrito desde una optica concenptual en autor refleja una honda preocupacion por el hombre y las relaciones del poeta con su entorno social. Pasion y conciencia son las claves de estos textos concebidos para desudar la apariencia en ua sociedad conmovida constantemente por sus esencias. Asi, textos como "Miseria del Hombre" reflejan una honda situacion etica - social muy concatenada a ses sueno que todo hombre tiene o el mensaje implicito del "Poema Vallejiano", sin obviar la historia de la "Cronica Maldita con Sabor a Gloria". En fin, muchos de estos textos fueron considerados peligrosos y censurados tras su primera lectura en el taller de la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba en 1994.
