Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Our journal seeks outwardly-directed poetry that exhibits social, political, geographical, historical, or spiritual awareness. We are open to traditional and experimental forms, including visual poems. We encourage people from all backgrounds to submit work to Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review, but aim to highlight historically unrepresented voices including people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, women, nonbinary or trans individuals, and people with disabilities. Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review quickly found its niche as a Southwest literary pillar after 1992 by frequently featuring a number of celebrated poets and Texas Poet Laureate’s including Rigoberto Gonzalez, Cyrus Cassells, Naomi Shihab-Nye, Carmen Giminez-Smith, Tama Baldwin, Joe Jimenez, Mario Susko, Octavio Quintanilla, James Hoggard, Walter McDonald, Karla K. Morton, Kelle Groom, Khaled Mattawa, Alex Lemon, sam sax, Oliver de la Paz, David M. Parsons, Laurie Ann Guerrero, Carol Coffee Reposa, Carrie Fountain, Shara Lessley, and more.
