Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. - book reviews

American Visions,  Oct-Nov, 1994  by T. Andreas Spelman

Aloud: Voices From the Nuyorican Poets Cafe edited by Miguel Algarin and Bob Holman (Owl/Henry Holt. 1994. $14.95)--This tome features an eclectic range of artists, rich in talent, promise and ambition, who frequent the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Located in New York City's Lower East Side, the cafe is the haunt of many of this generation's finest poets and spoken-word performers.

Nearly half of the contributors--including Paul Beatty, Pamela Sneed, Willie Perdomo and Hattie Gossett--display a brilliance that makes their words stand up on the page.
