Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
New York City's Nuyorican Poets Cafe, a Lower East Side institution, is known for hosting poetry slams, or public recitals of poems competitively graded by the audience. This is participatory performance poetry with an urban groundswell behind it-oral, multicultural, political, uninhibited. But how does the poetry come across once it's been conventionally-and ``silently''-published? ``Hear this book with your eyes!'' exhorts coeditor Holman; in his rambling introduction, Algarin urges poetry as ``a living art,'' as if to fight off print's inertia. All readers won't be floored by the result, which includes lines and stanzas (by Mike Tyler, Edwin Torres, Willie Perdomo, Raul Salinas, others) that beg to be sung or shouted, and do not rest easy on the page. But the vitality of the collection is conspicuous even when its anarchy causes some impatience. A maximalist poetry-compounded of emotional drive, visceral detail, real-life words and rhythms-offers something vigorous even when it reads as virtually unedited. The voices collected (more than 100) are challenging. (Aug.)
Library Journal
Manhattan's Nuyorican Poets Cafe, located in the low-rent district of Alphabet City, has become well-known over the past two decades for its poetry performances and "slams." Founded by Algarin and the late Miguel Pinero, it is the home for New York Puerto Rican poets and other poets of various nationalities and ethnic groups. This remarkably full collection, winner of the 1994 American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation, includes 260 poems by 145 poets of highly varied voices, a breadth that gives the anthology an urban energy that has transferred well from stage to page. Most of the works are interesting to read, some are heartrending, and others just plain fun. Nicole Breedlove's poem about growing up on welfare ("And my brother/joined the army/to get away/from the government"), Dael Orlandersmith's "Poem for Anne Sexton" ("Her perfume is the bathwater/of faded party girls"), and Sapphire's troubled "In My Father's House" ("my mother slipped on her sweater & disappeared") are a few of the many standouts. Holman's "Invocation" (a sort of foreword), Algarin's introduction, and the sometimes witty, sometimes precious authors' biographies are not to be missed. Highly recommended.-Harold Augenbraum, Mercantile Lib., New York

    Different perspectives

    This book contains awesome poetry. The authors in this book are raw. The poems are straight forward, and very realistic to life. There is a poem in this book for everyone. No matter what is going on in your life or what race you are, there is a poem that you can relate too. These poets do not try to hide anything about life, and help you understand different peoples perspectives. All in all this is a good book if you are intersted in poetry at all, and i would recomend it to to almost anyone.

    Meritricious writing for these incognito giants of the logos....

    These poets are certainly polyfaceted... It seems that the cosmic cereal of consciousness, picks no favorites... These poets/ muses of God, usher in a spicy and precious format for the dreamer/ the super imaginative... I truely enjoy, the lexicon and the sincerity of their synthax.... Myriads of cheers, to the soul of the planet: the puertorican poeta..... Dante josef raphael......

    This book is a piece of everyone

    This book is one of the best poetry books I have ever read. The writers are all very talented and use words in a way that will inflict emotion upon the reader. This book is also excellent for forensic tournaments, like for poetry readings. That is how I first discovered this book. A girl read a poem called '1990' and it was AWESOME!!! I searched for the book and finally found it. I bought it about two years ago and it's still my favorite book.
