Born in the provincial city of Camagüey, Cuba in 1902 Nicholas Guillen is regarded as a national treasure in Cuba. The late Pablo Neruda of Chile praised him as: “a great plebeian, a poet of the people, crystal clear yet full of wisdom” 

In this collection of his poems, Guillen offers his vision of life as a widespread and diverse menagerie. He draws on chilling realities and the absurd to fashion a zoo of natural and man made wonders alongside a wealth of social and political issues.
