Issue 23.

September,

2022

In our twenty-third issue, we highlight the work of Black Puerto Rican writer Mayra Santos-Febres, and we pay homage to Argentine writer Sergio Chejfec, a beloved exponent of Latin American letters whom we sadly lost this year. We also feature interviews with Ariana Harwicz, Rafael Gumucio, and PJ Pereira, a special selection of Cuban women poets, poetry and prose from the Peruvian Amazon in our Indigenous Literature section, and exclusive previews of new works in translation by Brenda Lozano, Jorge Enrique Lage, and Juan Pablo Villalobos.
