Luz Schweig is the editor of the historical Somos Xicanas anthology (Riot of Roses, 2024). Since 2012 her contributions have mainly focused on anthologizing marginalized voices, especially those of women. Her own poetry—previously published under a pen name—was selected by Juan Felipe Herrera as one of two runners-up for the 2024 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize. Raised in Mexico-Tenochtitlan and Southern California, Luz is a former editor at Somos en escrito Literary Foundation, and a board member of MeXicanos 2070. Her first poetry collection will be released in March 2026 with Mouthfeel Press in Texas.
