"We are very pleased with the quality of this publication," said Aida
Levitan. "Some of South Florida's most experienced literary critics and
professors chose the best poets and poems for 'La Ciudad de la Unidad
Posible', and the result is inspiring as well as illustrative of the great
poetry being produced in this area." The title of the book, suggested by
literary critic Luis de la Paz, was inspired by a verse written in Miami by
Juan Ramon Jimenez, the Spanish poet who won the Nobel Prize for
Literature. Dr. Levitan, President of Hispanic Events, Inc., and Victoria
London, Honorary Consul of Romania, underwrote the printing of the book.
