Read for work. This is a collection of poems, essays, and other materials written by migrants to America, many of whom are POC. The authors come from a variety of countries and family situations, and there's a spectrum of people who have or have not received documents, who did or did not return to their home country, and who did or did not even want to be in the US. The authors really show their situations to be relatable and worthy of outrage and action. Reads like fiction, thankfully.

A must-read for anyone looking to understand the undocumented experience, or the Global South migrant experience in general. A stunning collection of voices with roots in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. I applaud the editors for ample conclusion of queer, trans, and non-binary voices.
