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."

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 book will sell at the launch event, for $15 each, or by contacting levitanbiz@gmail.com.

As a way to recognize this impressive achievement, American Airlines Arena will be presenting Anthony with a special award after the artist helped bring more than 125,000 fans at the arena through 10 shows during the last three years. The combined shows generated a total gross of $9.3 million.


A fixture in the fast-growing Latin pop culture, Anthony's seemingly tireless energy was confirmed yet again Saturday night, as the 41-year-old crooner offered another electrifying performance during the two-hour star-studded show. The New York native belted out some of his greatest hits including "Hasta Ayer," "Hasta Que Te Conoci," and "Te Conozco Bien" in his usual seductive, powerful voice.

One of the highlights of the evening included a surprise visit on-stage by Miami Heat and NBA stars Dwyane Wade and Carlos Arroyo, who presented Anthony with a personalized "# 1" Heat jersey. "You know Marc, this is usually my house, but tonight, mi casa es tu casa," said the 2006 NBA Champion before a thunder of applauses.

In a more romantic encounter, Anthony was joined by wife Jennifer Lopez as the couple performed the popular ballad, "No Me Ames."

Saturday night's concert also marked CMN's second straight sold-out show following Mexican ranchera artist Vicente Fernandez's Oct. 18 show at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, where Marc Anthony is scheduled to perform early next year. Details of that show will be announced soon.

Marc Anthony is one of the most influential Latino artists of this generation. He is not only the biggest-selling salsa artist of all time but also a talented and well-known actor. Marc Anthony first hit the music charts in 1993 with his debut album Otra Nota. It reached the #1 slot on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart followed by Todo A Su Tiempo (1995). He was later awarded the Tropical Album Grammy in 1998 for Contra La Corriente (1997). In 2002, he won the Billboard awards the "Top Latin Albums/Artist of the Year" and "Tropical/Salsa Album of the Year - Male" for Libre (2001).
