Description

Since the 1960s, Nuyorican poets have explored and performed Puerto Rican identity both on and off the page. The first book-length study specifically devoted to Nuyorican poetry, In Visible Movement is unique in its historical and formal breadth, ranging from the foundational poets of the 1960s and 1970s to a variety of contemporary poets emerging in and around the Nuyorican Poets Cafe "slam" scene of the 1990s and early 2000s. Book jacket.
