Poems about immigrants, trauma, and perseverance "The poems in this collection explore the challenges of growing up in the United States with Latino or Caribbean immigrant parents. In particular, these pieces address intergenerational relationships and first-generation trauma, and many touch on cultural disconnection between parents and children.

Each poem here presents a unique narrative about the Latino, Caribbean, or immigrant experience."—from the Introduction Includes poems by: Alfred Arteaga Eduardo C.
