		Morales, a 21-year-old Bronx native majoring in English and Latino studies at Columbia University, may be far removed from the heroin-infested, crime-ridden, self-destructive world of Piñero, he nevertheless belongs to the same literary tradition, born of the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
		Today Nuyorican poetry can range from sonnets to the frenzied verses of competitive slams, and its themes are universal: the politics of daily life, sex and love, discovery of self.
		Many young Nuyorican writers said they were driven to poetry by racist encounters in mostly white schools, by witnessing injustices suffered by family members or neighbors at the hands of the police, landlords or welfare workers, and by the need to express themselves, "to prove," as one poet said, "that I was a human being."

	List of dialects of the English language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dialects are varieties differing in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar not to be confused with the regional accents of English speakers, which mark speakers as members of groups by their various pronunciations of the standard language.
		While not technically dialects, these variants may nonetheless be of interest to students of global English.
		Most are not genuine mixed languages, but rather instances of heavy code-switching between English and another language.

	Puerto Rican Literature in the United States: Stages and Perspectives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In fact, it is Nuyorican literature's position straddling two national literatures and hemispheric perspectives that most significantly distinguishes it among the American minority literatures.
		Yet despite this apparent disconnection, Nuyorican creative expression effectively draws together the firsthand testimonial stance of the “pioneer” stage and the fictional, imaginative approach of writers of the 1950s and 1960s.
		This sense of culminating and synthesizing of the earlier phases indicates that with the Nuyoricans the Puerto Rican community in the United States has arrived at a modality of literary expression corresponding to its position as a nonassimilating colonial minority.

		The Nuyorican sensibility is probably best captured by poets Miguel Algarin and Miguel Pinero (see the recent Benjamin Bratt film, Pinero) in the introduction of their anthology, Nuyorican Poetry: An Anthology of Words and Feelings (1975), who write that "for the poor New York Puerto Rican there are three survival possibilities.
		Whereas social spaces like the Nuyorican Poet's Café and the New Rican Village were set up to respond to distinct literary and spoken-word concerns, both are part of a tradition of "makeshift" social spaces created by Puerto Ricans, with the image of the Casista, being the most prominent example.
		By the mid-1950s Puerto Rican immigrants were sharing working-class and poor urban spaces with the generation of post-World War II African-American migrants from the deep south and what was becoming a steady stream of Afro-Caribbean immigrants from Jamaica and Trinidad-Tobago.

	Victor Hernández Cruz (b. 1949)
		Cruz's poetry may seem hermetic at times, and partly this is due to the use of imagery, words, and references that originate in Hispanic culture or mythology.
		Cummings, as well as to the concrete poets, would be helpful in terms of use of space, punctuation, and the page as signifiers.
		Contrast with poets like Pedro Pietri and Tato Laviera, in which the elements of popular culture are central to the understanding of their works (Cruz is much more introspective and abstract, and does not fit totally into the paradigm of Nuyorican aesthetics).
