Edited by poet and critic Rigoberto González, this anthology published by the Library of America includes more than 180 Latinx poets, spanning from the seventeenth century to today. The poems are presented in Spanish and in English translation from poets, such as Sandra Cisneros, Natalie Diaz, Aracelis Girmay, Juan Felipe Herrera, Ada Limón, Jaime Manrique, José Martí, Pedro Pietri, Brandon Som, and Javier Zamora. Pulitzer Prize–winning author Héctor Tobar calls the collection, “a wondrous journey through the passions, the ideas, and the diversity of a people redefining what it means to be American.”
