The initial episode, titled “To Havana,” features poet Fidel Antonio Orta, who affords a text that transcends the Cuban capital city, transforming it into a symbol of memory, identity, and spirituality.

  Orta, born in Havana in 1963, has an extensive career as a poet, novelist, essayist, and university professor, Mincult announced on social media.

  His work, recognized for its aesthetic and reflective depth, has been published in journals and academic publications both in Cuba and abroad, and has been translated in various international contexts.

  Isla Mia is conceived as a journey through essential voices of contemporary Cuban poetry, bringing the public closer to the living words of its authors and the diversity of their poetics.

  The initiative, the source noted, reaffirms the enduring relevance of the poetic act and its place in shaping the nation’s cultural sensibility.

  The premiere marks the beginning of a series that seeks to broaden access to literary creation through digital platforms, strengthening the link between tradition and modernity in Cuban culture.
