This collection of poems examines Latino migration to the United States from the perspective of a Central American immigrant on U.S. soil. The poems pay particular attention to the Mexican/American border landscape, the nostalgia of the homeland, the condition of Latino immigrants in the South, and the struggles associated with assimilation. Through surreal imagery, echoes of Latin-American poetry, and Mayan allusions, the poems represent the contemporary Latino experience: a battle of past, present, American, and Latin forces.
