Second printing. Staplebound in blue and red pictorial wraps w/ portrait of the author to front panel, minor creasing to spine, edgewear, scuffs, and slight bump to top right tip, original barcode sticker to rear panel. Binding tight, interior clean & bright. The first book of poems by the legendary Puerto Rican playwright, actor, and co-founder of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Known for his play ‘Short Eyes’ as well as numerous film and television roles, Piñero moved in a Lower East Side scene of artists and writers including Martin Wong and many others before his death in 1988. The eighteen poems collected here, coupled with gritty photographs present raw voices and scenes from the streets of New York. Scarce in the trade.
