For nearly twenty-five years, poets, writers, artists, actors, directors, and an ever-growing audience have flocked to New York's landmark Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Now for the first time, twenty original plays, monologues, and performance pieces that debuted at the Nuyorican are gathered together. Miguel Piñero, Ishmael Reed, Amiri Baraka, and Ntozake Shange are among the featured playwrights.
