Summary

The Latino Writers Collective, based in the Kansas City metropolitan area, organizes and coordinates projects for the larger community, especially to showcase national and local Latino writers and provide role models and instruction to Latino youth. "This first anthology, Primera Página, by the Latino Writers Collective, is a breath of fresh air," writes Virgil Suarez. Francisco Aragón writes, "Primera Página is more than a book, more than an anthology. It's a community-one borne of community-building in the best sense of the term." And as Rane Arroyo writes in his preface, "How might Latino poets living in the Midwest differ from those writing and living in other parts of our country? Read these poets for that answer."
