This is fantastic :')

The topic ive chosen is Chicana poetry with a main focus on the authors and their sources of inspiration and also Chicana poetry themes that they focused on.

Unifying concepts[edit]
These poems primarily deal with how Chicanos deal with existence in the United States and how Chicanos cope with marginalization, racism and vanquished dreams. Themes include sexuality, borderlands, gender norms, La Raza, spirituality, etc. Certain Chicana poets focused on only one theme majority of the time or there were those few who wrote a wide array of different poems for different themes. Chicana (female) writers have drastically expanded on the theme of marginalization. They have added a feminist component to the overall Chicano poetry movement. Chicana poetry is a way where Chicanos alike would be able to connect and understand that they things they were going through are happening to other people and it was an empowering move. Well-known Chicana poets are, Ana and Gloria Anzaldua who have published a wide array of poetry through different Mexican American publishers.
