Reseña del editor:

The Nuyorican Poet's Cafe 1998 national poetry slam championship team is five dynamic, important new voices, who uphold the tradition of social commentary and political poetry.
They bridge the gap between academic verse and the spoken word, between the be-bop Beats and hip hop beats. These five poets weave together gripping storytelling, soul-searching explorations of identity, and cutting edge political commentary. They rant, they rave, they reflect, they reminisce.
The metaphors sparkle and the rhyme schemes flow. The seeds of the next great social transformation are buried between the the pages of this book. The next Revolution will be a poem.

Reseña del editor:

In the summer of 1998 they took the belt at the National Poetry Slam, the first team from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. These five New York poets stand at the vanguard of the slam movement, with verse that is passionate, tight, political and lucid.
