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. Where Heaven Sinks is a love letter, a memorial for those lost, and a testament to the transformative power of language.
María Esquinca is a Xicana fronteriza and an abolitionist. She was born in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and grew up in El Paso, Texas. She received her MFA from the University of Miami. Her poetry has appeared in Waxwing, Michigan Quarterly Review, South Carolina Review, Best New Poets, and more.
