Nuestra Gente
L@s Viejit@s
L@s Eloter@s is a collective of writers that came together because there was no other outlet available to us. As young aspiring word manipulators we thought, where can we go to maintain our creative process, how do we submit, where do we submit and most of all how do we keep ourselves motivated? The truth is our small communities and our larger community as a whole does not value the written word and the only kind of value we can expect is the kind we give. As Latino's we understand that we are marginalized and pigeonholed when it comes to our Spanish diction and cultural themes.
We keep each other motivated and inspired, on task and laughing. We admire each other greatly. As Eloteros we understand the varying voices, narrative tones of our work and our work outside of our collaborative. Together we want to promote the creative development of Youth, having read and heard the immense talent within our community we are, at a basic level, an ensemble trying to create exposure for those of us that get none.
