Huizache 11 has arrived!

Huizache 11 features a stirring memoir from Chicana icon Cherríe Moraga, translations of Mexican maestras Amparo Dávila and Guadalupe Dueñas, and a special portfolio of poets responding to the one hundredth anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act curated by Alan Pelaez Lopez. We also have poetry from Levine Prize winner William Archila, Max Ritvo Poetry Prize winner Weijia Pan, Lorca Prize winner heidi andrea restrepo rhodes, California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick, and cosmic mandalas from newly minted MacArthur “genius” Juan Felipe Herrera. We’re also excited to share poetry from the winner and runners-up of the 2024 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize along with spectacular images by Teresa Flores, Juan de Dios Mora, and cover art by the incomparable Gina M. Contreras.

Milestone ISSUE

Huizache 10 Special Edition

We celebrate the milestone of our tenth issue with a special edition dust jacket that pays homage to legendary Chicana writer Helena María Viramontes, whose fascinating novel-in-progress is excerpted inside. We also feature the work of living icon Gioconda Belli, stellar short stories from Charles Rice-Gonzalez and Michael Jaime-Becerra, and a previously unpublished novel excerpt from the late Colombian queer poet and activist tatiana de la tierra. As in every issue, Huizache presents a stunningly diverse array of poetry that spans generations and communities. Huizache’s tenth issue bursts with writers challenging, subverting, and upending the dominant narratives that reinforce the status quo—together this chorus of voices forges a vision of a new America.
