Azahares 2027

At Azahares, we're looking for fresh work of the Latino experience: poetry that transports us into new perspectives; prose that makes us laugh or cry or sigh with satisfaction; art that lifts us towards the sublime or soothes us like un chocolatito caliente on a cold evening.  We particularly enjoy publishing works that illustrate the best of what it means to be human.

     All written submissions must be primarily in English or Spanish; if in English, they must thematically reflect Latino culture.  All artwork and photography must reflect the themes of the Latino experience.      • Poetry guidelines: 200-line maximum      • Prose guidelines: 3,500 maximum word count      • Color and black-and-white artwork/photography are accepted (high resolution - .png files preferred)     Call for Submissions opens May 2026 and goes through Nov 2026.
