| Description: |
Pedro Pietri: Selected Poetry is a compelling and humorous collection of poems by the poet laureate of the Nuyorican Poets. |
| Synopsis: |
Highly AnticipatedPedro Pietri's work has been praised by Amiri Baraka,Junot Diaz, Ishmael Reed, Sandra Cisneros, Jayne Cortez, Sandra Maria Esteves, Thulani Davis, Victor Hernandez Cruz, and the New York Times, making this collection a must-have for anyone interested in contemporary Latino literature. This is the first overview of his work to be made available.Poet Laureate of the Nuyorican MovementPedro Pietri is one of the founders of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, which quickly became an institution, defining the growth of Puerto Rican writers/artists living in New York. As a performer, Pietri's work was experimental, rebellious, and intellectual, establishing the strong tradition of slam/performance-based poetry in Latino communitiesFirst Time in PrintThis is the first selected works of Pietri's work ever published. A lot of Pietri's work hasn't been in print since his death in 2004, making this collection previously published and unpublished work highly valuable to both fans of his work and to new, young readers interested in one of the pioneers of Latino poetry in America. About 1/4 of the work here has never been published. |
