Francisco “Cisco” Fuentes is a broken-Spanish speaking boricua teen who is navigating all the intricacies of growing up in New York City while being raised in Bed-Stuy by a single mother. With the loyalty of his best friend, Manny, the joy of his little sister, Leticia, and the wisdom imparted to him by his mother , Cisco embodies the nuyorican experience of escaping danger at every street corner, exploring questions of Latinidad when you can’t speak Spanish, experiencing the complexity of love when you’re young, and having faith when there seems no reason to. Sueños De La Calle is a Nuyorican tale told in verse and is dedicated to all of those who have a dream and are chasing it, as well as all of those that have had dreams but whose life was taken before they could find them. Estos son los sueños de la calle.
