Undocupoets organizers Esther Lin, Janine Joseph, and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo are delighted to welcome the new 2024-2025 Undocupoets Fellowship recipients Leticia Priebe Rocha, blu, and a third recipient chose to stay anonymous in the interest of protecting their identity. Since its founding, Undocupoets has prioritized the safety of its Fellows, allowing each new cohort to decide individually or as a group how they would like to be recognized in our public-facing announcements and the best approaches of building community between themselves. 

 

In our 10th year as an organization we are humbled and awestruck at the talent, vision, and range of aesthetics we have encountered year after year of offering the Undocupoets Fellowship. With each new year, we encounter even more applications from both returning and new-to-us poets who challenge us to envision the possibilities of our art.  Our voices are growing. So is the need to hear them.
