An open letter with over 300 verses written by Pedro Pietri, a Caribbean poet who emigrated to the USA in 1947. Following the lives of four immigrants with identical paths, this epic poem – furious, desolate, and hopeful – is an ode to the end of ostracization, exploitation, and death of ethnic-racial minorities, celebrating the Puerto Rican people and recalling their dreams.
