A Las Orillas del Río Viejo is an anthology of poems exploring the realities of growing up with Latino parents, and particularly the experience of first-generation trauma. The anthology includes poems from established writers across several generations (for example, Eduardo C. Corral, Adélia Prado, Lorenzo Thomas) as well as poems from first-time authors. Taken together, their words provide rich insights into the emotional struggles of children of immigrants. These poems examine how changing identities clash with traditional Latino values or beliefs through the perspectives of people who are LGBT, female, American-born or raised, speak only English, are Black, or nonreligious. Editor Katherine Duarte writes, "By sharing our stories, we find permission to feel deeply-and to let love, even grief-stricken love, be our guide toward something new."
