Latino poetry is in the midst of a renaissance: in recent years, Latino poets have won two national and twelve state Poet Laureateships, a Pulitzer Prize, and three National Book Awards. Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology celebrates the beauty and power of this vital, multifaceted tradition with an unprecedented collection bringing together more than 180 poets and spanning nearly five centuries. Edited by poet and scholar Rigoberto González, the volume showcases Latino poetry’s distinctive fusion of Anglophone, Hispanic, and Indigenous resonances; its articulation of the enduring importance of family and community; and its commitment to the vision of a nation strengthened by the stories of immigrants, exiles, refugees, and their descendants. For Héctor Tobar, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Our Migrant Souls, the book “is a wondrous journey through the passions, the ideas, and the diversity of a people redefining what it means to be American . . . and a gift to the national literature.”
There are a brilliant array of contemporary voices here as well, spinning out the tapestry of Latino poetry in daring new directions. Taking the measure of this current renaissance, the anthology culminates with the most comprehensive survey of twenty-first century Latino poetry yet published. Featured poets include: Jose Marti, Julia de Burgos, Sandra Cisneros, Pedro Pietri, Juan Felipe Herrera, Jaime Manrique, Javier Zamora, Aracelis Girmay, Natalie Diaz, and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limon.
