A quarterly literary and arts journal that promotes and publishes Latinx work

About

The Acentos Review publishes poetry, fiction, memoir, interviews, translations, and artwork by emerging and established Latinx writers and artists four times a year.  The LatinX community is international and so, too, do we invite that international Latinx community to share their work with us.  We welcome submissions in English, Spanish, Portuguese, a combination of two languages, as well as the use of indigenous languages.

The debate may rage forever as to who or what constitutes Latinx art. Here, there is no such identity crisis. We are already here, writing the histories of our neighborhoods, following the traditions of our ancestors, as well as the poetic traditions that came before us. To paraphrase Baldwin, the poet's task as historian is to keep the story new, even when the telling is costly. This is the aesthetic we foster at Acentos. It is always about the word, the work, and it all begins here.  

The Acentos Review website is in transition through December 2024, as we have nearly 15 years of content that we are carefully moving to the new webspace. To get to the site with all the original archives, just click here.
