Summary

Connie Voisine's third book of poems, inspired by the border between the United States and Mexico, celebrates the stunning, severe desert landscape found there. This setting marks the occasion as well for Voisine to explore themes of splitting and friction in both human and political contexts. Whose space is this border, she asks, and what voice can possibly tell its story? Book jacket.
