About the magazine

Puerto del Sol is a literary magazine founded in 1960 at New Mexico State University. Rooted in the Chicano and Borderlands literary traditions, it has evolved into a national journal committed to publishing innovative poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid work. Its ethos is one of cultural confluence and aesthetic risk, reflecting the desert borderland where it was born. The magazine seeks to foster voices that challenge dominant narratives and explore the complexities of identity, place, and language.
