This is a translation of a mixed genre work by Cuban poet Reina María Rodríguez in which poetry merges into creative non-fiction, culminating in a series of essays. Other Letters to Milena shows Rodríguez confronting pressing issues at the turn of the twenty first century. These include a new post-Soviet world and the realities of diasporic existence, which have a profound effect even on people like Rodríguez who have not migrated.
