U.S. Latinx Voices in Poetry
Hi Everyone,
The Poetry Foundation has done a terrific job of pulling together an overview of Latinx poets. Please have a look—and get lost in the richness of their voices!

Abrazos,

Here's a note from the wonderful Denise Chávez on expanding this list: "It's interesting that these lists do not include many Southwestern Latino/a poets from New Mexico, Texas, Arizona. There is so much going on here and yet I see few names in this lists of our Frontera poets.
Here are some of them:
Martha Rivas
Octavio Quintanilla
ire'ne lara silva
MarÃa Miranda Maloney
Jen Yañez-Alaniz
Carolina Hinojosa
Matt Sedillo
Lau Cesarco Eglin
Edward Vidaurre
Christopher Carmona
Lorna Dee Cervantes
Thelma T. Reyna
Anthony M. Flores
Rooster MartÃnez
And this is just some of them--the lists are not complete!"
Gracias, Denise!!
