Letras Latinas: A Year in Poetry, 2014

As I mentioned on Facebook a few weeks ago, we started these year-end lists in Latino/a poetry back in 2010, and did one in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Our proposition is straightforward and without pretense: to list collections of poetry—whether a chapbook or a full-length book—that were published in a given calendar year. This year, though, we crowd-sourced and what follows is the result: 34 titles (for now):
