In this energetic collection of poems, award-winning poet Willie Perdomo explores the life of a percussionist, Shorty Bon Bon, navigating the vibrant music scenes of 1970s Spanish Harlem. Through a blend of recollection, love, and dreams, the work encompasses Shorty's experiences with a descarga band, his passionate relationship with a singer named Rose, and a surreal journey to Puerto Rico. This suite captures the essence of a Nuyorican musical community, merging urban language with profound themes of love, loss, and identity.
