Hinchas is a quarterly, digital codex of modern American Poesis. When we say "American," we mean it in the way that Jose Marti did;  namely, that the word "American" encapsulates the whole of the Americas, not just the North. We seek to big up the Pan-Americans currently manufacturing the legacy of our metaphors to the idea of Las Americas.

We do not differentiate between North and South and Central America, just as we do not differentiate between medium and content. We inhabit a land where the content is the medium. And Justin and I are about as American as they come: first generation North Americans genetically soldered to South American pedigrees.


To that end, Hinchas seeks to publish innovative, experimental work of a devastating caliber, regardless of format, medium, or language. To that end, please send us work that you are unsure about, or language that belies the countours of a nameless gloss. Please send us translations or pieces that rely on dialects, nuance, and idiomatic skulldugery. Please send us ossified anecdotes, the pillboxes of the fetid, and your most rancid alphabets; we will make room for them, if they are stark; if they compel.
