Back to the Twilight Zone, A Puerto Rican Colony in Buffalo, NY, by Puerto Rican poet, Alberto O. Cappas

This poet, around the corner from his new coming journey, wants to make sure that his Puerto Rican experience in the political arena is well captured. This book, “Back to the Twilight Zone, A Puerto Rican Colony in Buffalo, NY” (ISBN: 9798847443524), is dedicated to a local community in Buffalo, NY, but the book has a universal link to the Puerto Rican diaspora. The book reflects all Puerto Ricans in all communities in urban America. This book of poetic verses by a Puerto Rican poet who has carried so many buckets in his lifetime – as a poet, writer, journalist, public servant, publisher, entrepreneur, and community activist, is a book with illustrated words that politicians and community leaders will not want our young people to read. While you will absolutely find no profanity in this collection, you will definitely find the intent as you move from page to page, with countless images coming at you. It is an amazing piece of work. You can get the book at Amazon. You can also find it in your local bookstores, and if not, make sure to get a signed copy directly from the writer, and send $20 payable to the Buffalo Latino Village, PO Box 742, Buffalo, NY 14209. 

Here is one of the poems in the book:

 THE MERRY-GO-ROUND

 The Boricuas

get a kick out of observing Hispanics

in Buffalo run illusions

around the Puerto Ricans.

 They create stages to perform

without an audience.

 giving each other recognition

taking turns

collecting

gifts from politicians

on a rotation basis

around and around

like the merry-go-round.
