{"product_id":"where-heaven-sinks-poems-9781647792176","title":"Where Heaven Sinks: Poems","description":"María Esquinca delivers a searing collection of poems that traverse borders--both physical and emotional. Set against the backdrop of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, these experimental works weave fragmented verses, striking imagery, and bold typography to confront the brutal realities of immigration and identity. With the precision of a journalist and the heart of a storyteller, Esquinca exposes injustice while celebrating resilience and hope. Her work is shaped by the intersection of cultures, histories, and experiences found in the US-Mexico borderlands. Each poem is a tribute to those who have endured and a call to challenge the systems that oppress. \u003ci\u003eWhere Heaven Sinks\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter, a memorial for those lost, and a testament to the transformative power of language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaría Esquinca\u003c\/b\u003e is a Xicana fronteriza and an abolitionist.
