Puerto Rican Obituary - 414

Modern Reader Trade Paperback with 108 + pages, size: 8 x 5 1/2". Poetry - The poems are drums. And drums are the tools of magicians...Piertri is a very social poet. There are no love poems here, except that every line breathes his love for his people. And his focus is on the misery that his people are force to suffer in a dying, racist/imperialist world..Pietri's strength is outrage...his rage is carefully controlled, and the more threatening for that reason. Pietri, like David Henderson and Allen Ginsberg, effortlessly telescopes vast social problems inot effective image-clusters. The degradation of the oppressed has never been more acidly funny..." Lorenzo Thomas, University Review.
