CentroVictoria of the University of Houston-Victoria is excited to announce a new literary magazine, Huizache, featuring poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.  Huizache seeks works that challenge ethnic, gender, or social stereotypes, and though the magazine’s focus is Latino, it is not limited to it.

The first issue includes Sherman Alexie, Sasha Pimentel-Chacon, Sandra Cisneros, Eduardo C. Corral, Alex Espinoza, Diana Garcia, Tonantzín Canestaro-García, David Garza, Aracelis Girmay, Estella Gonzalez, Tim Z. Hernandez, Juan Felipe Herrera, Hettie Jones, Lorraine López, Sheryl Luna, José Montoya, Willie Perdomo, Emmy Pérez, Rene Perez, Benjamin Alire Saenz, Tim Seibles, Gary Soto, and Maria Venegas.  Its cover is original art from César A. Martínez.

The huizache, a tree that seems invisible but is ubiquitous, is the inspiration for the title of this magazine which will publish works that have traditionally been ignored.  The voices in this magazine are motivated, not silenced, by harsh, unwelcoming conditions.
