The life of this eminent poet is a reflection of the circumstances of
our age-from the Puerto Rican migrations, through the disintegration of
New York neighborhoods, to the Vietnam era and the aftermath of
environmental pollution, El Rev Pedro Pietri has been a creative voice
to the madness that surrounds us.
