In a trilingual collection-presented in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English-Joaquin Zihuatenejo unflinchingly captures the duality of immigrant experiences in the United States. Picking up where his previous collection, Occupy Whiteness , left off, Immigrant pays homage to the languages of Zihuatenejo's lineage: the language his grandfather's grandfather spoke in, the language his abuelo prayed in, and the language he himself writes in today. Sometimes brutal, always honest, these poems of witness explore what it means to cross over-and to be double-crossed.
