Description
Border Vista intimately narrates the experience of being undocumented, or precariously documented, in America.
In poems that consider migration as an ongoing process rather than a finite event, Anni Liu writes exquisitely on fear (both useful and paranoid) and agency, loneliness, and the way the violence of the carceral state shapes our most intimate relationships to each other and to the land.
As she does, she revisits moments of unexpected poignancy: searching for turtles in a drainage ditch, picking crabapples along a rural highway, and smelling the namesake flower of her mother, who is half a world away.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
"Inviting, dark and quiet, like a museum at night," Border Vista is praised for its attentiveness to language and its exploration of memory and transition. Critics highlight Liu's ability to hold insights in reserve, making moments of astonishing clarity especially striking. It is regarded as "a collection to treasure."
