Crossing Mexico: Diario Mexicano Donald Wellman

Poetry. Latinx Studies. Art. The poems of CROSSING MEXICO: DIARIO MEXICANO interact with history, culture, and people the poet encounters in his journey, which in turn propel his imagination to make connections with his own life and history, thus folding space and time into the language of the poem. These poems seek to penetrate the fabric of reality just as much as to open the reality of the poet himself. This is more than a book of journeys, this is a book of exchanges between the interiority of the individual and the exteriority of society, between Mexico and The United States, between images and language, between the present and history.--Antonio Ochoa
