Huizache The Magazine of a New America

About

Since 2011, Huizache has been at the forefront of Latinx literature and art. It has featured works by poet laureates, MacArthur and Guggenheim fellows, and winners of many prestigious awards. Founding editor Dagoberto Gilb wanted Huizache to be the preeminent magazine of Latinx literature, focusing on innovative prose and poetry that exploded preconceived notions of what Latinx literature should be. Dagoberto put it best in a 2013 Los Angeles Times interview when he declared: “I want punk, I want classical, so long as it’s obsessed with what it’s doing and good. I hate do-gooder pedo. I like skilled art that knows the smartest, that doesn’t try to dupe the stupid or naïve. Willful craft. I want quality from artists who don’t think they ever get it right but move on anyway.”

Now housed at the University of California, Davis, Huizache continues to provide a home for voices that are often overlooked or, when seen, deliberately ignored. To hold the first ten issues of Huizache is to hold the history of a people that is as persistent and gold as the magazine’s namesake, the huizache tree.
