Abstract	This thesis examines Latinx poetry in relation to the September 11th attacks and the reconfigurations of racial structures and the American empire that followed, most notably through the Department of Homeland Security and their agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE politically characterizes immigrants as anti-American to perpetuate stereotypes against various Latinx communities. In examining poetry collections by Mónica de la Torre and Urayoán Noel, I highlight how experiments in sound within poetic practices simultaneously record the current state of the American empire and comment on the permanent changes to the continent through modern/colonial nation building. I conclude that these practices reveal Latinx artistic expression as disrupting disciplinary boundaries through the practice of decolonial aestheSis, Luis Camnitzer’s notion of the postpoetry, and ecological approaches to sound.
