Excerpt: Crossing Borders (edited by Bruce Kauffman)
Introductions:
Thank you Bruce Kauffman for being the editor of our 10th Anniversary, CCLA Member Anthology. Thank you to all of the member authors that contributed to this special collection. Thank you to all of our CCLA members for building cultural bridges and crossing borders with us. The mandate of the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance, the CCLA, is to advance cultural solidarity between Canada and Cuba through the creative expression of poetry, prose, art and photography. It is fitting that the title of our 10th Anniversary anthology be called Crossing Borders. As the founding president I started the CCLA in 2004 after travelling to Cuba with my wife Kim. It only took 2 or 3 visits for me to recognize the value of building cultural bridges between our two countries. We have made permanent friendships with both Cubans and Canadians over the past 10 years. We hope you enjoy this fine collection.

Editorial Reviews
Reviews:
Crossing Borders is a wonderful anthology of poetry and prose contributed by members of the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance (CCLA). The pieces in this diverse collection run the gamut from the very touching personal and introspective reflections to those of sociopolitical pondering and lament. Within, you will find a wealth of contributions from both Cuba and Canada, each country rich in its differences of climate, geography, history, and culture. But in it, as well, you will discover the similarities of voice, the place from which it comes, and in it a reminder of the arbitrariness of lines that we draw – between place, between person. We are all, yes, different. However, we are all, yes, equally the same.

The bond between Cuba and Canada is not defined by common borders or current events. There is a brotherhood, a shared consciousness, which goes beyond time and space. This anthology is a testament to what has already been accomplished, and a foundation for what could be even greater work and a greater relationship.
