Abstract
When we think of the theme of inter-American literary relations and especially of the Caribbean ties with the United States, the literature of the Cuban diaspora of the last fifty-five years becomes an indispensable reference. The poetic work of Magali Alabau, Jesús Barquet, Alina Galliano, Maya Islas and Juana Rosa Pita is expressive of the vigorous movement of Cuban poetry produced in this geographical and cultural context. I offer a brief selection of the work of these five writers. In this group of writers, we accede to the aesthetic uniqueness of each one of them, at the same time in which it is also possible to recognize thematic and stylistic trends of contemporary Cuban poetry.

Maya Gods of War
No full textNumerous archaeological projects have found substantial evidence of the military nature of Maya society, and warfare is a frequent theme of Maya art. Maya Gods of War investigates the Classic period Maya gods who were associated with weapons of war and the flint and obsidian from which those weapons were made. Author Karen Bassie-Sweet traces the semantic markers used to distinguish flint from other types of stone, surveys various types of Chahk thunderbolt deities and their relationship to flint weapons, and explores the connection between lightning and the ruling elite. Additional chapters review these fire and solar deities and their roles in Maya warfare and examine the nature and manifestations of the Central Mexican thunderbolt god Tlaloc, his incorporation into the Maya pantheon, and his identification with meteors and obsidian weapons. Finally, Bassie-Sweet addresses the characteristics of the deity God L, his role as an obsidian merchant god, and his close association with the ancient land route between the highland Guatemalan obsidian sources and the lowlands. Through analysis of the nature of the Teotihuacán deities and exploration of the ways in which these gods were introduced into the Maya region and incorporated into the Maya worldview, Maya Gods of War offers new insights into the relationship between warfare and religious beliefs in Mesoamerica. This significant work will be of interest to scholars of Maya religion and iconography
