MIAMI, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Editorial Ultramar, the Miami-based
publishing division of the non-profit Hispanic Events, Inc., will launch "La

Possible Unity, A Collection of Miami Poetry"), a book featuring more than 100
Spanish-language poems by 32 Hispanic writers. The editor and publisher, Dr.
Aida Levitan, will present the book during the Miami Book Fair International
at 4 p.m. on November 8th, Room 2106, Miami Dade College, 300 NE Second
Avenue, Miami. Dr. Carlos Rojas -- winner of Spain's Premio Planeta, Premio
Nadal, and the National Literary Award -- will speak at the event since he is
the author of the book's preface. Each poet present will read one poem from
the book.
"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. Also contributing to
the publication were: The Levitan Group, Inc. and the Aetna Foundation. The
