Sad news from the world of literature: Puerto Rican poet and writer, Piri Thomas, best known for his depiction of barrio survival in Down These Mean Streets, suffered a stroke.
The 79 year old author is recovering in his now home of California.
Another blogger writes on how well-wishers can communicate with Thomas:
If you want to send Piri Thomas a get well message please email us at CapicuPoetry@gmail.com or call our community hotline (208) 723-5966 and we will compile these in a transcript and audio CD that will go directly to Piri, so that collectively we can raise his spirits and lend him our strength to survive this ordeal.
Get well soon, Piri!
