Recenzii
"A poet who is also a sound scholar, a mistress of tongues, and a profound believer in a cause, is a rare and wonderful thing. Muna Lee is all four."—Archibald MacLeish, in The American Story
"Jonathan Cohen has given us the exquisite gift of recognition: the life of Muna Lee—a poet, essayist, human rights activist, and indeed a visionary and fervent Pan-Americanist. Through Cohen's insightful and original biography, readers will get to know, as well as love, the spirit of Muna Lee, one of the most extraordinary and creative figures of the twentieth century, a builder of bridges and hopes. Cohen's work will not allow us to forget her. More so, it rescues her from the invisibility of her work and life. A magnificent tribute to a magnificent woman."—Marjorie Agosin, author of A Map of Hope: Women's Writing on Human Rights

"Jonathan Cohen’s edition of Muna Lee’s work and the accompanying biographical essay function . . . as a combined project of historical recovery . . . . It reclaims Lee’s place among American poets and establishes the importance of her work as a pan- Americanist whose entry into Puerto Rican society opened a path to a life-long concern with establishing closer cultural links between North and South America. . . . This collection, by gathering a significant selection of her work, helps us begin to appreciate an important figure in pan-American literature."—Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas
"Jonathan Cohen's informative ibiography is an extensive survey of Muna Lee's life, her development as a poet, and as a feminist."—Jean Franco, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature, Columbia University

Descriere
The extraordinary Muna Lee was a brilliant writer, lyric poet, translator, diplomat, feminist and rights activist, and, above all, a Pan-Americanist. During the twentieth century, she helped shape the literary and social landscapes of the Americas. This is the first biography of her remarkable life and a collection of her diverse writings, which embody her vision of Pan America, an old concept that remains new and meaningful today.
