In announcing the grants –- totaling $90,000 across 75 libraries and cultural organizations in 31 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico –- the Library of America celebrated Latino poetry’s “distinctive rhythms, candor and lyricism; its profound engagement with pasts historical and mythic; its imaginative reckoning with the complexities of language, land and identity; and its visions of a nation enriched by the stories of immigrants, exiles, refugees, and their descendants.”

This initiative is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and Emerson Collective.
