“An historical anthology, not only because it is the first major anthology of its kind, but also because it concerns itself with the act of constructing a kind of communal history.”- Torrin A. Greathouse, The Rumpus
“Nepantla is clearly curated with patience and passion. Soto’s close attention is easy to recognize in his introduction and the all-star lineup spanning from the Harlem Renaissance to today.” -Aram Mrjoian, Chicago Review of Books
“Soto succeeds in assembling an expansive, sonorous, and literarily significant volume that reveals the broad range of engagements queer poets of color have undertaken over the years.” – Publishers Weekly
“It is an anthology worth reading, and a rich vein for discovering new poets for yourself.” – Sarah Rose Sharp, Hyperallergic
“Nepantla is both an important reminder of the countless contributions of queer poets of color to the literary world, as well as a celebration of the current and future queer POC poetry community.” – Cosmo Halterman de Ochoa, Poetry Society of America
