The collection, “Nuevas Fronteras/New Borders,” is a series of academic studies and literary works examining the literature of the Mexico-U.S. border region. The first four volumes include “En voz propia/In Their Own Words,” a bilingual collection of interviews with Mexican border writers co-edited by Cota Torres and translated into English by Feliu-Moggi. Another volume, “Miradas Convergentes,” was also co-edited by Cota Torres.
