One of the poets involved with the early years of the Neorican literary movement and the Nuyorican Poets Café, his work has been published widely in anthologies, literary journals and artistic magazines in the U.S. Latin America, Puerto Rico and Europe. Among his previous books are Hypocrisy Held Hostage, Noo Jork, and East 110th Street.
Figueroa is also known for his work in the theater. In 2012, he co-produced, wrote, and directed A Tribute to the Life and Times and Work of Piri Thomas, a multi-arts presentation at Hostos Community College. His play Transnightification was directed by Raul Julia at the Joseph Papp Public Theater and his jazz opera, King of the Crabs, was performed at Intar Hispanic American Theater. He also produced and directed The Grassroots Poets Series at Miriam Colon’s Puerto Rican Traveling Theater.
A life-long educator, Figueroa has taught students of all ages in public schools, colleges and universities, community venues and prisons. His work as a children’s literature specialist and language arts consultant with public schools resulted in the editing and publishing of more than 66 volumes of original children’s and youth writings.
