Annual conference anthology included selection by me, a piece titled, "Context". It's reprinted in this article.
The 17th annual Rio Grande Valley International Poetry Festival kicked off Thursday evening at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce with the launching of their regular poetry anthology, Boundless.
The evening included readings from those published in the collection, including from your humble servant, and announcing the reappointment of Daniel Garcia Ordaz as McAllen’s Poet Laureate for a second year in a row.
Flowersong Press publisher and prolific Chicano poet, Edward Vidaurre, guided the ceremony. Vidaurre, who moved to the Valley from Los Angeles, was McAllen Poet Laureate in 2019.
He and La Joya, Texas-based, Erika Elisa Garza Tamez, selected and edited the poems in the anthology. It’s over 132 pages long and includes over 80 writers from around the globe, as far away as China.
