Poetry of the US-Mexico Borderlands
The following is a list of books of poetry in the PCC Library collection that address—illuminate, interrogate, celebrate—and/or are set in the US-Mexico borderlands, a (geographical, cultural, political, ecological) region that stretches from San Diego/Tijuana at the Pacific Ocean, to Brownsville/Matamoros at the Gulf of Mexico, and into both the immigrant and the citizen imagination. As this is a generative region for poetic exploration, to which poets are constantly turning their attention, this list is in-progress.
