A poignant, hilarious, and inspiring memoir from the first Latino and openly gay inaugural poet. Richard Blanco’s “The Prince of los Cocuyos” explores his coming-of-age as the child of Cuban immigrants in Miami and his attempts to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning artistic and sexual identities.
