Poetry, prose and passion: Nuyorican Poets Café founder Miguel Algarín dead at 79

Algarín’s work, and the space he created, inspired and guided generations of artists who performed everything from slam poetry to Latin jazz. When he wasn’t mentoring artists, or stringing profound words together, Algarín was a professor at Rutgers University for more than 30 years.
