On Mexican Independence Day, September 16, 魔都资源网 professor Dr. Gabriella Guti茅rrez y Muhs and six alumni will celebrate the publication of their new anthology of Chicanx/Latinx poetry entitled In X贸chitl In Cu铆catl: Floricanto. One Hundred Years of Chicanx/Latinx Poetry (1920-2020).

First editor Guti茅rrez y Muhs compiled this 724 page historic, bilingual book. Not only does it feature her poetry, but also works from alumni Aldo Resendiz, 鈥�11, Alexander Ziperovich, 鈥�13, Carlos Sibaja-Garc铆a, 鈥�13, and Joshua Holgu铆n, 鈥�12. Two other alumni contributed to the anthology. Marianne Mork, 鈥�16, served as principal editor while Veronica Eldredge, 鈥�16, designed the book鈥檚 cover artwork and was copy editor.

Guti茅rrez y Muhs collaborated with Juan Velasco Moreno of Santa Clara University and Armando Migu茅lez, Director of the Academic Language Institute and of the Centro de Estudio Hispanounidenses of Miguel Hernandez University in Alicante, Spain. Guti茅rrez y Muhs met Miguelez in 2016 when she was the invited poet at the opening of the Centro.

The four alumni poets were selected by all three editors. Guti茅rrez y Muhs shared how historic and invaluable it is that they are going to be published alongside 62 renowned poets spanning 100 years of Chicanx/Latinx poetry. 鈥淚鈥檓 very excited for them because this opens a lot of doors for them in poetry. They were all my students,鈥� she enthused.

The book will launch at GRITO de POES脥A in San Jose on September 16, Mexican Independence Day. A celebration of Chicanx life and culture, the free event will include readings by 20 poets included in the anthology. To learn more, visit the event鈥檚 .
