Metamorfosis en la metrópoli: la poesía metropolitana de Pedro Pietri

This article questions the fact that literature written in New York City by Puerto Rican writers can be considered as part of Puerto Rican national literature. Pedro Pietri's Puerto Rican Obituary is read as an emblematic book of Puerto Rican metropolitan poetry. Pietri's poetry, marked by urban and everyday life themes and vocabulary, engages in a dialogue with North American poetry, particularly with texts from the Afro American tradition and the Beat Generation. This connection to North American poetry defies the possibility of including this poetry as part of Puerto Rican national poetry.En este artículo se cuestiona el hecho de que la literatura escrita en la ciudad de Nueva York por autores de origen puertorriqueño, pueda considerarse como parte integral de la literatura nacional puertorriqueña. Puerto Rican Obituary de Pedro Pietri se interpreta como un libro representativo de la poesía puertorriqueña de la metrópoli. En el caso de la poesía de estética callejera y cotidiana de Pietri, la poesía norteamericana de los años cincuenta y sesenta del siglo pasado - tanto la afronorteamericana como la del movimiento beat- constituye un intertexto fundamental que perturba la posibilidad de incluir esta obra en la literatura nacional puertorriqueña
