Sinopsis
"A gorgeous, engaging collection . . . [Urrea] captures the song and spirit of people who might otherwise be invisible . . . As difficult as the subject matter may be, the writing is radiant, showing how the worth of human beings can’t be dimmed by a border fence or hot-button politics." —The Washington Post
An exquisitely composed collection of poetry that examines life at the border from the New York Times bestselling author of Good Night Irene and The House of Broken Angels, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in fiction
Celebrated author Luis Alberto Urrea was inspired to create this work largely in response to the book bannings and abolition of Mexican-American studies in Arizona and as a cry against the current political climate for immigrants. Weaving English and Spanish languages as fluidly as he blends cultures of the southwest, Urrea offers a tour of Tijuana, spanning from Skid Row, to the suburbs of East Los Angeles, to the stunning yet deadly Mojave Desert, to Mexico and the border fence itself. Mixing lyricism and colloquial voices, mysticism and the daily grind, Urrea offers a deep and moving meditation on the blurring borders in a melting pot society.

"Siege Communiqué"
In Tijuana
they said Juárez
was the pueblo where old
whores went to die, where
25 cents bought flesh
by the river, no
body loved you, Sister—
so close to Texas
so far from
Revolución.
Today, they say
you are the cementerio
of hope: the only crop
in your garden of Río
Grande mud is bullets,
is machetes, is
acid baths for bones,
choruses of prayers
from those in torture church.
Hermanita of Perpetual
Sorrow, what flowers
do we hand you—we
who die now too.
We who dangle nude
and burned from bridges,
we who hoped
to see our daughters
run through sunlight, only
chased by waves
not bleeding
yet,
but laughing.
