Huizache 12 is here!
Huizache 12 is truly the magazine of a New America, showcasing the best poetry and prose from across the country, work that blends and bends and resists every categorization. This issue brings you a moving essay from 2025 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize winner Rigoberto González, original stories from Jennine Capó Crucet and Lorraine M. López, experimental video essays from Yxta Maya Murray, and fascinating memoirs from José Vadi and Sesshu Foster. We also have poetry from Chicana legend Evangelina Vigil and the soon-to-be-if-not-already legendary Yesika Salgado, as well as some of the most notable names in Latinx poetry, including Vincent Toro, Diana Marie Delgado, Robert Fernandez, Roberto Harrison, Brenda Cárdenas, David Dominguez, and Lupe Mendez. Huizache 12 also showcases visual-textual portfolios from Anthony Cody, Octavio Quintanilla, Ayling Zulema Dominguez, and hector son of hector, an exquisite suite of drawings from Amy Díaz-Infante Siqueiros, and beautiful cover art by Fidencio Fifield-Perez, not to mention a full-color interior spread of his brilliant and timely “dacaments” series. Every issue of Huizache seeks to redefine what a literary magazine can be, and in that spirit, we’ve included a special chapbook insert of Central American poetry curated by Letras Latinas director Francisco Aragón and Huizache’s own León Salvatierra. It’s undeniable: Huizache 12 is a work of art!
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icon Gioconda Belli, stellar short stories from Charles Rice-Gonzalez and Michael Jaime-Becerra, and a previously unpublished novel excerpt from the late Colombian queer poet and activist tatiana de la tierra.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.
