Hinchas Press

In Latin America, HINCHAS are homicidal fútbol fanatics--purveyors of fervor--but also a scourge.

Additionally, the verb "hinchar" in Spanish has various meanings: from distend and enlarge to annoy and exaggerate. HINCHAS Press is a small press specializing in works or poetry and social justice. Hinchas de Poesia is an online literary journal that showcases the fiction, poetry, and prose of authors from América and America. Therefore, Hinchas seek to big-up Américans, and the works they are cu

rrently creating. In terms of taste and content, Hinchas de Poesia believes the content to be the medium. To that end, we publish innovative, experimental work of a devastating caliber, regardless of format or dialect. Please send us work that you are unsure about, using language that belies the contours of a nameless gloss.

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.
