Dream of a Word: The Tia Chucha Press Poetry Anthology

Since 1989, Tia Chucha Press has been a leader in publishing artistically innovative and culturally provocative voices in poetry.

The roster of poets the Press has brought to publication reflects a deep commitment to diversity and features established artists, such as Elizabeth Alexander, Virgil Suarez, and Diane Glancy, as well as first books by award-winning poets Terrance Hayes, A.

Van Jordan, and Patricia Smith.

Tia Chucha Press has had a powerful impact on the literary world as a very important first press for many poets and a respectable, high quality press for all.

Dream of a Word is more than a book of poetry; it is a fifteen year archive of real American life, a testament of democracy in verse, from the gritty streets of East Los Angeles to lonely Indiana avenues.
