We are dedicated to publishing both emerging and established raza authors who write in direct response to the historically neglected needs of our communities. We are looking for narratives that break oppressive cycles, inspire others to action and spark healing solutions through storytelling. Join our Lucha Literaria by sending us your work!

NEWS & MAGAZINE FEATURES:
"The moon is not made of queso añejo but of maize, with some picante humor for flavor."
|
"Like all powerful resistance literature, Pedro Iniguez's debut poetry collection is mostly about hope, and the cultural nourishment that makes hope enduring. Like the taco buggies darting through space on page 29, or the new burial rituals depicted in “Cadaverous Cumbia” (p.31), replacing lamentation with celebration. Iniguez captures an unshakable ability to dream, even amidst tragedy."

“You keep them nourished even in their melancholy”
|
“Gabi, if this must be your death,
Let it be your last. Because in all the years after, they still tell your story here And you still die at the end of each retelling. But when the melody of your footsteps Walks your mother back home at night, We know the sun will rise once again on this town.” Read “Elegy for Gabriel Contreras” by Elizabeth Monreal |
“They say that the families of the poor should have been honored”
|
“In five hundred years she will be called a barbarian by white men who steal from the grave of the child she lost. A woman who knows nothing will call herself El Niño’s protector and mother, and keep him from his true family.”
Read “The Mothers of Llullaillaco” by Julia Aguirre |
