Many of the contributors to this series are donating broadsides to folks who give to local bail funds and mutual aid/support services such as ARC Bail Fund, National Lawyers Guild, Mariposas Sin Fronteras, and others, to support arrested protestors, Black and Brown communities, and migrant/refugees in LGBTQ communities. Select broadsides from this series are available to support organizations working to end systemic racism in this country and to support demonstrators in need. Please contact Moving Parts Press if you are interested in contributing.
LATINX / CHICANX / POETX is a series of broadsides by contemporary queer+ Latinx/Chicanx poets co-edited by Felicia Rice with poets, Angel Dominguez and Hannah Kezema. Angel and Hannah have been longtime collaborators, first as founders of the performance art collective, DREAM TIGERS, in 2014 and as editors of the Bombay Gin literary journal of Naropa University, where they met during graduate school. When Felicia, Angel, and Hannah met in 2015, it quickly became clear that a cross-pollination would occur.
The LATINX/CHICANX/POETX broadsides are sacred transmissions of collaborative energy meant to help us all continue to survive in the face of apocalyptic uncertainty. They remind us that art, poetry, and making are remedies for all forms of oppression, from the rise of fascism to climate catastrophe. The living landscapes of Latinx/Chicanx creativity will always flower with expansive resilience, as Josiah Luis Alderete always says, “¡Aquí estamos y no nos vamos!”
The broadside series is an addition to Moving Parts Press’s Chicanx/Latinx Series of artist books. It is also an outgrowth of the Latinx Poetix Symposium which Angel produced in 2018. Most importantly, it is the ultimate collaboration between poets, editors, and artists of the LGBTQIA+ community, translators, their activist allies, and radical contemporary thinkers.
The first five broadsides were created by Hannah and Felicia in the letterpress shop of Moving Parts Press in Bonny Doon. In August 2020, the CZU Lightning Complex Fire destroyed the studio along with these five “Lost” broadsides. Production of the series slowed down as Felicia spent the next few years rebuilding the press at her family home on the Mendocino coast, 250 miles north of Bonny Doon. Between 2021 and 2023 she printed three more broadsides during the “Taking Off” period of the series. At the close of 2023, Angel, Hannah, and Felicia were determined to continue the work that had started in the woods of Bonny Doon some five years earlier. In 2024, Angel and Hannah drove five hours up the coast every few months to work (and sleep) in the new MPP letterpress studio, collaborating closely with Felicia to design, handset, and print the final six broadsides together as was originally intended.
Each broadside is produced in an edition of 60 copies, of which half were placed directly into the hands of the poet. Unfortunately, the Moving Parts Press copies of first five broadsides in the series were destroyed by fire in August 2020 (more on the fire here).
The remaining 30 copies of each broadside are available from Moving Parts Press at frice@movingpartspress.com. Please inquire about ordering a set of the nine remaining broadsides.

Instagram post by @blacklavendermilk on Sep 15, 2025: It’s been one of the great honors of my life to work on the @movingpartspress Latinx Chicanx Poetx broadside series over the years with @hannahkezema and Felicia Rice, and I’m excited to share more with y’all during this Latiné heritage month.
The LATINX / CHICANX / POETX Broadside Series began in 2019 as a continuation of Moving Parts Press’s Chicanx/Latinx Series of artists’ books produced by Felicia Rice, and as an outgrowth of the CSUMB Latinx Poetix Symposium, curated by Angel Dominguez in 2018. Hannah Kezema and Angel are longtime collaborators and editors who founded the performance art collective, DREAM TIGERS, in 2014. When Felicia, Angel, and Hannah met in Bonny Doon in 2015, it quickly became clear that a cross-pollination would occur. Inspired by the accessibility of the broadside form as a text-object, this project is a collaboration between contemporary artists, poets, editors, activists, radical thinkers, and translators of the Latinx, Chicanx, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
These broadsides seek to honor the complex and ever-evolving Latinx/Chicanx experience, offering a highway glimpse of the living landscape of contemporary Latinx poets. No series could possibly capture the immensity of Latinx/Chicanx poetics in this country. This humble selection of 14 voices grew organically through long-distance conversations and serendipitous mycelial connections. What is gathered here is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and unwavering passion of artists in collaboration across time and space, against unprecedented challenges and adversity, determined to continue making in the name of our collective futures.

Instagram post from @hannahkezema on Oct 10, 2025: In continued celebration of latiné heritage month, i’m honored to revisit & share these two gorgeous broadsides as part of our third installment of the LATINX/CHICANX POETX series (curated w/ @movingpartspress & @blacklavendermilk)!🌹
In 2024, Angel and Hannah drove five hours up the coast every few months to work (and sleep) in the new MPP letterpress studio, collaborating closely with Felicia to design, handset, and print the final six broadsides together as was originally intended.

Joey is senior co-editor at Apogee Journal and lives in Ridgewood where they ran for New York State Assembly District 38 in 2020.
Instagram post by @blacklavendermilk on Dec 5, 2025: The first time I met @dejesussaves it was for a reading in Philly back in 2017(?); @roquesalasrivera ‘s intro of their work included the words “Joey will fight you in the street” and I immediately knew our kinship was all but inevitable. Joey’s work pushes boundaries to their galactic zenith, embodying a life altering understanding of Poetry as spell work; poetry as vital cosmic nourishment; Poetry as sacred transmission, and when @hannahkezema @movingpartspress and I were working to determine the final broadsides that would bookend the Latinx/Chicanx/Poetx broadside series, Joey’s work immediately came to mind. This broadside is one of my all time favorites both of this series and in general; it’s a symbiotic collaboration of Felicia Rice’s illustrations/visual explorations that felt immaculately in sync with Joey’s Poem. It was such an honor to get the chance to work on this broadside in particular – legend has it Joey may still have some copies of the broadside for purchase! I’m so excited to get to share the final broadsides of the series before the end of the year – stay tuned for more @movingpartspress broadside posts & news as we gear up to celebrate the series all next year!

Instagram post from @blacklavendermilk on October 16, 2025: Back in 2016 @hannahkezema and I embarked upon an insane odyssey from the redwoods of Santa Cruz CA to desert monsoon poetry portal of Tucson AZ in the name of Poetry. @kristen_e_nelson had invited us to read at Casa Libre with none other than Los Angeles legend, @raquefella – a poet and writer whose work I’d long admired and really needs no introduction. That chance reading led to a conversation that would culminate with the publication of (the chapbook version of) Desgraciado via their tiny (but mighty!) EconoTextualObjects press which would go on to have two print runs, even finding its way into @molaa.art for their Grafica America exhibition.
When we were driving back and forth from Mendocino to work with Felicia on what would become the final @movingpartspress Latinx Chicanx Poetx Broadsides, it was an honor to hold every letter and space in Raquel’s poem, which responds to the late great Laura Aguilar’s work. We worked tirelessly to capture the vital energies of both the Poem and its ekphrastic origin; Hannah masterfully worked to produce the line drawing now embossed upon the broadside, and this one in particular became a favorite amongst the series – legend has it Raquel might still have some copies of the broadside left – be sure to pick one up along with their @noemipressbooks debut, Southwest Reconstruction out this December!

Instagram post from @blacklavendermilk on Dec 22, 2025: I first met @studioinexile_ on a surreal and beautiful panel (dreamed up by none other than @sissy_spaceship )at Notre Dame as a part of the &Now conference back in 2018 – which was a transformative experience all its own; I came to know Oliver as a brilliant, tender, powerful, and resonant poet who I felt, and feel, lucky to be in community with. His poem, “Boreal” as a broadside presented a unique collaborative configuration in which @hannahkezema @movingpartspress and I read the selections Oliver sent us aloud together over several trips up to Mendocino throughout 2024 working together tirelessly to complete the Latinx/Chicanx/Poetx broadside series; we found ourselves returning to Oliver’s poems between the production of other broadsides and during our walks along the jagged and breathtaking Mendocino coast. Boreal was a poem that stood out amongst the bunch of brilliance Oliver sent and one that found a synergistic resonance across us three in the shop where the color, texture, and vibrancy of the language itself came together in what’s become one my favorite broadsides of the series – Boreal marks the penultimate broadside in the series and we’ll be posting the final broadside before the year is up! Legend has it Oliver may still have some copies of the broadside available ✨💖✨
Felicia Rice comments “Boreal” was one of the most spontaneous broadsides in the Latinx Chicanx Poetx broadside series. Hannah Kezema and Angel Dominguez and I were working in the shop on one of our precious weekends together to produce this series. Suddenly, I knew exactly what to do for the image to complement Oliver’s poem. The image is a collograph relief printed from cheesecloth glued to wood. Once the glue was dry, the hills and mountains, the ridge and sky simply emerged on the sheet. Or does the pale blue suggest water?
HOW I MAKE A POEM
Joshua Jennifer Espinoza
Joshua Jennifer Espinoza is a trans woman poet and the author of I Don’t Want to Be Understood (Alice James Books, 2024); There Should Be Flowers (Civil Coping Mechanisms, 2016); and i’m alive / it hurts / i love it (Boost House, 2014). A creative writing instructor, she lives in Riverside, California.
Instagram post from @blacklavendermilk on Dec 29, 2025: I’ve been a fan of @sadqueer4life for as long as I’ve known her writing, both in poems and tweets – she’s a poet whose work continues to astound. As we approach the sunset of the @movingpartspress Latinx/Chicanx/Poetx broadside series, JJE dropped a new, moving, and important work, I Don’t Want To Be Understood (@alicejamesbooks ) that cemented the energy we hoped to invoke with the closing broadside. This broadside also marked a beautiful and serendipitous shift in the collaborative nature of the series with Felicia driving to meet Jen to discuss the dream for the broadside – it was this conversation that led to Felicia drawing the delicately tender flowers that bloom from the broadside, inspired by the poem’s “roomfuls of flowers.” This broadside so luminously concludes the broadside series in a golden sun súper bloom of color, creativity, and collaborative energy.
This final broadside bookends the series that began in Bonny Doon when @hannahkezema and Felicia combined forces to usher in the possibility of such a tremendous and beautiful project that would go on to span pounds of paper, miles of California coast, 7 years of collaborative dedication, and gallons of ink. It’s a broadside series that encapsulates a brief and beautiful glance at the ever evolving landscape of contemporary Latiné poetics, a humble soil sample of the planetary magnitude and spectrum of Latiné poetics. A collaborative effort bereft of institutional support and guidance, instead powered/propelled by the deeply felt necessity of artists creating in community, a testament to the commitments of craft, friendship, and collaborative creation in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances (the rise of fascism, pandemic, live-streamed genocide, fascist resurgence, etc) – as we share this final broadside here, we hope you’ll engage with the upcoming 2026 offerings we have in store including readings, pláticas, and maybe even a companion podcast! We’ll be posting more about all that magic in the new year, stay tuned!
All Our Love,
