Editor Francisco Aragon has successfully woven together a collection rich in tone, style, and depth of topics, ranging from the more immediate and observational to political and symbolic in The Wind Shifts: New Latino Poetry published by the University of Arizona Press.

Moving forward from the strong poetic predecessors of After Aztlan and Touching the Fire, The Wind Shifts presents voices speaking to today’s complex world through Latino eyes, but does not remain stifled by what may be considered “Latino” in regard to how these poets reveal their visions, experiences, and ideas.
