Sinopsis

Marí a Esquinca delivers a searing collection of poems that traverse borders― both physical and emotional. Set against the backdrop of El Paso and Ciudad Juá rez, these experimental works weave fragmented verses, striking imagery, and bold typography to confront the brutal realities of immigration and identity. With the precision of a journalist and the heart of a storyteller, Esquinca exposes injustice while celebrating resilience and hope. Her work is shaped by the intersection of cultures, histories, and experiences found in the US-Mexico borderlands. Each poem is a tribute to those who have endured and a call to challenge the systems that oppress. Where Heaven Sinks is a love letter, a memorial for those lost, and a testament to the transformative power of language.

Excerpt from “ANCHOR BABY”
 
when you feel your skin crawl out of your bones
you know they day will come when your people have had enough, your people will machete the
sun, bury the moon, carcass the sky, and you keep waiting for anger to flow like a river ready to
rupture a dam
