Welcome

I write this blog from a place called Pinar Del Jersey. Located about fifty years North of Havana, it's equal parts New England and Caribbean.

My name is Jesus Maria Alvarez. I am a novelist, poet, occasional cartoonist, ex-architect and baseball evangelist.

I was born on the Western end of Cuba but I've lived 75% of my days in this place, north of the Mason-Dixon Line, feeling surprisingly at home, I should add. This may have to do with my long-held suspicion -- confirmed by a dream many years ago -- that I had been a New Englander in a previous life.

I started Cubiyanqui to share my creative efforts and other interests with my friends and the rest of the world. I never suspected that it would take over so much of my life, but hey, I manage. (And if you visit and the date of the last post is older than a week, you'll know that I ain't managing that well).

Thanks for reading and please tell others about this place.

I hope that you come back soon!

JM
