Barrio Writers
ISBN: 978-1-622-88167-3
SFASU Press

In this day and age of hopelessness and alternate facts I take much courage in the acts of these brave and brilliant youth with their stories in tact, who are the now and the future. Barrio Writers are balm for our souls that fear and reject a future full of lies and morally bankrupt leaders. Their voices are those of the ancestors who’ve come back to assure us we shall indeed survive. -- Odilia Galván Rodríguez

Speculative Fiction
for Dreamers
Forthcoming 2021
Ohio State University Press

"Speculative Fiction for Dreamers brilliantly runs the gamut of visual, oral, and textual storytelling, creating magical wormholes that link indigenous past to place-rooted present, imagined futures, and the abode of syncretic gods." -- David Bowles

pariahs: writing from outside the margins
ISBN: 978-0-692-86030-4​
SFASU Press

"A roiling mass of poets and artists is beginning to push down the groomed fences. Not straight outta Princeton, not ordained in Iowa, like Zapatistas they come from "lesser," distant backgrounds and darker urban streets far from that all-is-perfect center, armed with passion, demanding that their stories be heard." -- Dagoberto Gilb

In Las Ninas Sarah Rafael Garcia chronicles her coming of age in Orange County, California in the 1980s and 90s.
