Piri Thomas

    Piri Thomas bol vplyvným autorom a básnikom hnutia Nuyorican. Jeho diela sa zaoberajú témami identity a kultúry a jeho písanie často odráža jeho skúsenosti z rastu v španielskom Harleme. Thomasov jedinečný štýl a silný hlas z neho robia dôležitú postavu v literatúre. Jeho spisy ponúkajú čitateľom pohľad na životné skúsenosti a boj portoricko-kubánskej komunity v New Yorku.
