Richard (Tai) Grove, known as Ricardo by his Cuban friends has never been satisfied to be a mere tourist in that island nation. In establishing the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance, (more often referred to as the CCLA), he committed himself to beginning and sustaining a conversation between writers and poets in Cuba and those fortunate Canadians who have come to share in this conversation.
Read these poems. Join Ricardo on his journey. Fall in love with Cuba. Carry a piece of Cuba’s blue sky in your pocket. Like the Scot kirking the tartan, touch the blue, the stunning blue, the radiant blue, pull it from your pocket and let it shine as the pages of this book shine and are a force for good in the world. - John B. Lee, Author of 70 titles,Three time Poet Laureate
