Through a partnership to promote wider access to literary voices of Mexican artists in the United States and American writers in Mexico, the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Embassy in Mexico, and Mexicos National Fund for Culture and the Arts have joined together to support a proposed three-year program of anthology publication and public outreach activities. In the first year, Sarabande has been named publisher of the poetry anthologies. We are pleased to introduce readers to the best of contemporary Mexican and American poetry through these comprehensive bilingual anthologies, states National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Dana Gioia. I believe they will quickly become essential volumes for poetry lovers and grant new insight into both cultures. Contributors include: Kay Ryan, Larry Levis, Thomas Lux, Marilyn Nelson, Ron Silliman, Molly Peacock, Amy Uyematsu, Jorie Graham, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Naomi Shihab Nye, and more.
