Border Scars

By Melina Melgoza López

Border Scars documents the struggles and triumphs of crossing the border in pursuit of survival, featuring three generations affected by the trauma inflicted by the border. Through poetry, Melgoza, a first-generation product of the Mexican diaspora, captures the essence of her elders' journeys across the Mexico and U.S. border. Melgoza skillfully exemplifies the complexity of documenting these painful stories. The poems illustrate the resilience and strength it took her family to keep coming back to a country that did not always feel like home.
