Versos en Mi Vida / Verses of My Life is a bilingual collection of poetry by Marta Fernández - known in Cuba as the beloved child actress Martica DÃaz, often called the Cuban Shirley Temple.
Long before she became an award-winning Spanish teacher in the United States, she was reciting poetry on stages and radio programs across Havana. After emigrating to the United States in 1963, Dr. Fernández devoted her life to education, family, and cultural preservation. Throughout every chapter of her life - from Havana to Chicago - poetry remained her quiet companion.
This collection gathers verses written across decades, reflecting on Cuba, exile and belonging, memory, love, nature, family, and the passage of time. Presented in both Spanish and English, this bilingual edition allows readers to experience her voice across languages - honoring her lifelong devotion to language, teaching, and cultural identity.
More than a poetry collection, this volume is a tribute to a life lived between countries, between stages, and between generations.
Though memory may fade, language endures. In these pages, her voice lives on.
