Poems for la gente, reverberating like a chancla (That slaps). Poems by la gente, transgressing boundaries, lingual expectations, borders. Poems honoring la gente who came before, who brought them here, who can love or loathe en silencio.
I started to keep a list of poems to shout out and it quickly became ✨️most of the book✨️. Another incredible #BreakBeatPoets volume! An inviting and inspired collection 💗

This collection showcases Latinx poets. The topics of the poems are varied like the Latinx experience. One thing that stuck out for me in reading through the collection is the references to Card B. Another referenced topic is policies that affect Latinx communities. This shows the versatility of the collection. It can go from entertainment to political causes effortlessly.
Another great collection for poetry lovers.

I read very minimal modern poetry but there were a few poems in this collection that I absolutely enjoyed.
Some were lyrical with varying beats, others were strong in imagery, others created worlds that felt like my home and family and considering the mix of Latinx poets, it was something I was hoping for and they delivered.
This collection has brought a lot of these voices to my attention and will be looking forward to finding some again.

powerful, heart-wrenching, provocative, & beautiful. i have been trying to read more poetry lately & recently finished latinext, edited by josé olivarez, willie perdomo, felicia chavez. it took me a while to get through (poetry always does) but so many pieces of work stuck with me. absolutely excellent anthology & i was humbled to get a glimpse into deep thoughts & feelings from latinx writers.
