Poetry
Poetry can span formats from written form to performance and spoken word. Pieces can range from the literal to the abstract to the figurative and beyond. What unites each of these poets is their ability to paint a picture and engage their readers in a discussion of and reflection on the Latinx experience. Through the styles, stories, and characters in these poems, their authors tackle important social and political perspectives.
