Unaccompanied

內容簡介

內容簡介 "Every line resonates with a wind that crosses oceans."-Jamaal May "Zamora's work is real life turned into myth and myth made real life." -Glappitnova Javier Zamora was nine years old when he traveled unaccompanied 4,000 miles, across multiple borders, from El Salvador to the United States to be reunited with his parents. This dramatic and hope-filled poetry debut humanizes the highly charged and polarizing rhetoric of border-crossing; assesses borderland politics, race, and immigration on a profoundly personal level; and simultaneously remembers and imagines a birth country that's been left behind. Through an unflinching gaze, plainspoken diction, and a combination of Spanish and English, Unaccompanied crosses rugged terrain where families are lost and reunited, coyotes lead migrants astray, and "the thin white man let us drink from a hose while pointing his shotgun." From "Let Me Try Again" He knew we weren't Mexican.He must've remembered his familycoming over the border, or the bordercoming over them, because he drove usto the border and told us next time, restat least five days, don't trust anyone callingthemselves coyotes, bring more tortillas, sardines, Alhambra. He knew we would try again.And again-like everyone does. Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. He earned a BA at UC-Berkeley, an MFA at New York University, and is a 2016-2018 Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University.
