5.0

When doing a unit on poetry for my Latinx History class, I realized that I didn’t own a single book by Pietri, arguably the most influential Newyorican poet. It was not easy to find this volume, and other books by him are out of print. I am fortunate to have seen Pietri perform live. The printed page doesn’t do his work justice, but every Latinx family should own one of his books and listen to the few recordings available online.
