Our Story

HINCHAS Press is a small press that publishes zines, poetry (and poetry in translation), and library science non-fiction. We support social justice initiatives, and advocate for bilingual literacy endeavors across the monolingual landscape of the United States. Like our online journal, Hinchas de Poesia (www.hinchasdepoesia.com), HINCHAS Press seeks to showcases the fiction, poetry, and prose of authors from América and America. In terms of taste and content, we firmly believe the content to be the medium. To that end, we seek to publish innovative, experimental work of a devastating caliber, regardless of format, dialect, or pedigree.

HINCHAS Press is home of the “Librarians with Spines” series, and is currently working on volume 02, which is slated for realese in 2019!
