Ambroggio Prize

The Ambroggio Prize is an annual publication award given by the Academy of American Poets for outstanding book-length poetry manuscripts originally written in Spanish and accompanied by an English translation.

Named after the Argentine-American poet, Luis Alberto Ambroggio, it is the only award of its kind in the United States that honors American poets whose first language is Spanish. Past judges include Aaron Coleman, Giannina Braschi, Norma Cantú, Raina J. León, and Rigoberto González.

Since 2020, the University of Arizona Press, as a nationally recognized publisher of award-winning works of Latinx and Indigenous literature, has partnered with the Academy of American Poets to publish the winning manuscripts. These bilingual poetry books celebrate Spanish as a literary language of the United States.

Sun Tracks

Launched in 1971, Sun Tracks was one of the first publishing programs to focus exclusively on the creative works of Native Americans. The series has included more than eighty volumes of poetry, prose, art, and photography by such distinguished artists as Joy Harjo, N. Scott Momaday, Simon J. Ortiz, Carter Revard, and Luci Tapahonso.

Camino del Sol

As one of the first publishers to spotlight poetry, fiction, and essays from both emerging and established voices in Latinx literature, the University of Arizona Press and its critically acclaimed Camino del Sol series have provided a literary home for distinguished writers such as Juan Felipe Herrera, Carmen Giménez Smith, Luis Alberto Urrea, Richard Blanco, Alberto Ríos, Pat Mora, Tim Z. Hernandez, Emmy Pérez, and Francisco X. Alarcón.

Camino del Sol was established in 1994 by writer and poet Ray Gonzalez.
