Co-published with the City of Albuquerque’s Department of Cultural Services, the Albuquerque Poet Laureate Series features new and selected work by the city’s Poet Laureate at the conclusion of their two-year term. Newly appointed poets will join Hakim Bellamy, Jessica Helen Lopez, Manuel González, Michelle Otero, and Mary Oishi as significant voices in the community who have been recognized with the honor of serving as the Poet Laureate and sharing their craft in the volumes published in the series.

Afro–Latin American Writers in Translation is a series of critical editions of celebrated works in translation aimed to advance research and academic reflection on the Black presence in Latin America and its influence across the Americas. By making Afro–Latin American writers more readily available to a North American audience, the works in the series will deepen our understanding of writing and race in New World history. The publications in the series will further provide a complementary critical history of the literary lives and the ever-evolving print cultures found across Afro–Latin American history and culture.
