LAST OF THE PO'RICANS Y OTROS AFRO-ARTIFACTS is the first poetry collection by Not4Prophet, showcasing a vibrant blend of poetry that captures the cultural essence of Puerto Rico and New York City through the perspective of a Puerto Rican from Ponce, residing in El Barrio/East Harlem and the South Bronx. In exploring this sense of "otherness," which encompasses struggles with poverty, racial pride, and racial tensions, Not4Prophet pays tribute to the pioneers of the Nuyorican and Black Arts movements. Composed in free verse and rich with cultural and historical allusions, LAST OF THE PO'RICANS pushes boundaries and confronts readers with striking imagery and clever wordplay that dares to address difficult topics.
