At the heart of this anthology lies the intersection of history, language, and the human experience. The collection explores the ways in which a people's history and language are vital to the development of a poet's imagination and insists that the meaning and value of poetry are necessary to understand the history and future of a people. The Latinx community is not a monolith, and accordingly the poets assembled here vary in style, language, and nationality. The pieces selected expose the depth of existing verse and scholarship by poets and scholars including Brenda Cárdenas, Daniel Borzutzky, Orlando Menes, and over a dozen more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays not only expand the poetic landscape but extend Latinx and Latin American linguistic and geographical boundaries. Writers, educators, and students will find awareness, purpose, and inspiration in this one-of-a-kind anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHerrera, Juan Felipe:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Juan Felipe Herrera is professor of Chicano studies at California State University, Fresno.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuesada, Ruben:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eRuben Quesada\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, translator, and editor.
