The Verging Cities by Natalie Scenters-Zapico

The border is construct and violence, a theme which runs through Natalie Scenters-Zapico's heartbreaking, beautiful borderlands poetics The Verging Cities, an exploration of the twin cities of Ciudad Juárez and El Paso, both shrouded in fog, both bleeding. The shame and pain of xenophobia and la migra intertwine with defiance, a sharp, painful, beautiful reminder of the humanity on both sides of the border.
