Description
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. It also unearths a largely unknown corpus of poetry performances.
