Pedro Pietri (March 21, 1944 -- March 3, 2004), was a Nuyorican poet and playwright who co-founded the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. He was the poet laureate of the Nuyorican Movement.Internet: Out of Order / Out of Service comprises 330 compositions that express the complex vision of the world of the poet-performer Pedro Pietri. The collection is divided into seven sections. "To write a poem" includes the lines that have at their center the reflection (smitizzante and surrealist) to make poetry. "Forget logic" leads us beyond the mirror of normal daily life in the universe upside down and absurdist poet. "Because I love you" is composed of a sequence of letters and declarations of love disenchanted, sometimes cynical and bitter, always refused to violence with violence of sentimentality and pathos. "Tremble the night" makes us partakers of nocturnal dimension, dreamlike, visionary Pietri, where plans and prospects are systematically and methodically challenged and overturned. "In this endless city" paints scenes of a city liberated from the "local color" in favor of a raw and even desperate, but because of this even more human. "Chico & tito tico" is a sequence of frames taken in the neighborhoods of New York Puerto Ricans, symbolic of the sense of displacement and at the same time will to survive their Nuyorican experience. "With the best of intentions" is a series of cameos dedicated to writers and writers more or less famous, but also to ordinary people and everyday situations, which have contributed to the formation of the poet over the decades. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
