In
2014, Christopher Soto and Lambda Literary Foundation founded the
online journal Nepantla, with the mission to nurture,
celebrate, and preserve diversity within the queer poetry community,
including contributions as diverse in style and form, as the
experiences of QPOC in the United States. Now, Nepantla will
appear for the first time in print as a survey of poetry by queer
poets of color throughout U.S. history, including literary legends
such as Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, June Jordan, Ai, and Pat Parker
alongside contemporaries such as Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Danez
Smith, Joshua Jennifer Espinoza, Robin Coste Lewis, Joy Harjo,
Richard Blanco, Erika L. Sánchez, Jericho Brown, Carl Phillips,
Tommy Pico, Eduardo C. Corral, Chen Chen, and more!
