  • Miriam's Flowers is a play by Latina playwright Migdalia Cruz, first published in 1990. The play takes place in New York City’s borough, the Bronx in the 1970s, and details the experiences of the Puerto Rican Nieves family as its members grapple with the death of seven year old Puli Nieves, killed accidentally by a train while attempting to retrieve a baseball from the tracks.
