Description
HEY YO ! YO SOY! 40 YEARS OF NUYORICAN STREET POETRY, A BILINGUAL EDITION (English/Spanish) is a 386-page collection, comprised of three previously published books, "Casting Long Shadows" (1970), "Have You Seen Liberation" (1971), and "Street Poetry & Other Poems" (1972), consist of stories about growing up Puerto Rican in New York City’s El Barrio. Melendez has long been considered one of the founders of the Nuyorican Movement and the political, intellectual and linguistic topics he approaches in his work remain extremely relevant to this day. Forward by Samuel Diaz and Carmen M. Pietri-Diaz; Translator's notes by Adam Wier; Introduction by Sandra Maria Esteves; and Afterword by Jaime "Shaggy" Flores. Also includes historical photos of and an in-depth interview of Melendez. HEY YO! YO SOY! 40 YEARS OF NUYORICAN STREET POETRY, A BILINGUAL EDITION is a collection to be devoured as a single sustained narrative, from the first page to the last; a worthy addition in anyone’s library.
