Miguel Piñero: We'll just start from the top.
Miguel Piñero: Well, I guess I started stealing when I was eight. Stealing bread for my baby sister and brother. And other times you walk into the supermarket and just eat the food right out of the aisles, and not even pay. We'd walk right outside, you know? Now when you think about Latin writers, you probably think about Senior Márquez, Neruda, Cortazar - the magic realism. Not here, not this. There are no floating butterflys around my head when I walk down Avenue B., you know.

BRATT'S BEST YET

PINERO (2001) *** Benjamin Bratt, Giancarlo Esposito, Mandy Patinkin, Talisa Soto, Michael Wright, Rita Moreno, Robert Klein, Fisher Stevens (cameo). Bratt shines as fiery Puerto Rican poet/artist/addict Miguel Pinero, whose stints behind bars led to a second life as a gadfly controversial Beat poet who became the underground artiste scene's cause celebre until his untimely yet doomed death at the age of forty to cirrhosis of the liver.
