Darren J. de Leon's "The Hoops and Crosses of Mt. Vernon" is neither a short story collection nor a collection of poems. Rey Rey, a 15-year-old Chicano teenager, navigates the complexities of growing up in he barrio. He finds himself caught between the dangerous world of violence and drug abuse, and the world of social justice and creative expression. The "hoops and crosses" of his life represent the challenges and burdens he faces as he grapples with gangs,

education, alcohol and drugs, religion, assimilation, and his growing socio-political
awareness. The Hoops and Crosses of Mt. Vernon is Rey Rey's journey of survival, as he learns to maneuver through the road signs of both the hood and the world of adults.

California Southern: writing from the road, 1992-2025 ( #978-1-954640-07-8) is the first collection of prose and poetry by longtime Los Angeles-based poet and journalist Adolfo Guzman-Lopez. Guzman-Lopez writes about the head-swirling images and sounds at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing in Tijuana, as well as growing up Mexican and undocumented in blue-collar National City, and surf-city Pacific Beach, as well as the Los Angeles he’s spent nearly 25 years reporting on for the NPR affiliate in L.A.

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!
