Tens of thousands have been detained at the border.What will happen to them? Where are the parents? And why have they undertaken a terrifying, life-threatening journey to enter the United States?'"Appealing to the language of the United States fraught immigration policy,Luiselliexposes the cracks in this foundation. Herself an immigrant, she highlights the human cost of its brokenness, as well as the hope that it (rather than walls) might be rebuilt." —Brad Johnson,Diesel Bookstore°°°Valeria Luiselliis an evening cyclist; a literary tourist in Venice, searching forJoseph Brodsky’stomb; an excavator of her own artifacts, unpacking from a move.
