Latinx identity is an incredible blend of movements, cultures, and language. It is also an identity that continues to face considerable challenges, including inhumane migration policies, and inaction by Congress, which continually threatens to defer the
American Dream for the undocumented Latinx community.
But despite these inequalities, still they rise. One poet on our list arrived in the US in her mother’s belly, while another challenged the notion that one must provide “proof of citizenship” to create art. And thus, we celebrate the lives and experiences of these five Latinx poets, who use their poetry as artful protest, and bridge their multitudinous identities with mastery and courageous truth-telling.
