Chosen from print and online magazines, from the popular to the little-known, the selection is sure to capture the attention of both Best American Poetry loyalists and newcomers to the series. The series and guest editors contribute valuable introductory essays that illuminate the current state of American poetry.

La intención de Voces de América Latina II es presentar diversos matices: desde las entrañas actuales de Latinoamérica, tonalidades que entrelazan lo visible con lo invisible y lo cotidiano, y absurdo con lo admirable e insólito. La temática de los textos reunidos en esta muestra es variada. En ella encontramos una amplia gama de voces bien definidas que dibujan un paisaje armonioso y filarmónico a la vez. Así, de lo íntimo y naturalista al entramado neobarroco, los invitados discurren con la poesía, el poema, lo cotidiano, la política, la ciencia... Voces de América Latina obedece también a una necesidad propia de recorrer diferentes caminos, esquemas y cánones para aprehender y aprender distintas formas de escribir y alimentar el quehacer de la creación literaria.
