First, I love the concept of this book--and the title is remarkable. There's an unknown we percolating in these poems which both invites us in and dismisses us in turn.

Happy pub day! Insightful and impactful study of contemporary border issues.

Some of my favorite moments:

Where’s the pastfuture border?

Get on the right side of the border, the side with jobs.

The fence knows how you will cross before you even cross it.

Our Father, Halloween and Texas, how should Primitiva play her hand?

It was at the fábrica where I learned that seams last longer than me.
