Pedro Pietri quotes

I was introduced to Langston Hughes, who became one of my favorite poets...I mean, he was a poet; he wasn't about words, he was a poet, he had rhythm. (Pedro Pietri)
Like I said, it was 1957 when I started in oral tradition by memorizing all the poems I wrote...And I'd sit in parties, and bars-they were just poems to make people feel good... View quote
