DESCRIPTION

The beauty of poetry and performance is the emotionally driven story from the performer to the audience. This epic story told by a brave son of a mother and father involved in drugs sings to the depths of a child as witness.

The Nuyorican Poets Cafe presents innovative works of poetry, music and theater seven nights a week, including Friday Night Poetry Slams, weekly open mics, Thursday Night Latin Jazz Jams, theater events and hip hop concerts. USA Today recommends the Cafe as one of the top cultural attractions in Manhattan, and the Wall Street Journal calls the Cafe “a thriving arts center with partnerships across the city.
