Abstract "A meditation on the power and limitations of images, 'The winter garden photograph' began as an homage to a magazine, 'The Courier', published by UNESCO. Reina María Rodríguez used the magazine's photographs of faraway places to spark an investigation of the mental landscapes comprising her own, [in] contemporary Havana. ... With the original Cuban edition of this book, Rodríguez won her second Casa de las Américas Prize for Poetry. This edition includes ... an interview with Rodríguez, conducted by Rosa Alcalá."--Publisher.
