This collection is a beautifully crafted exploration of life in the Texas-Mexico borderlands. Written by Norma Elia Cant , the award-winning author of Can cula, this collection carries the perspective of a powerful force in Chicana literature--and literature worldwide.

The poems are a celebration of culture, tradition, and creativity that navigates themes of love, solidarity, and political transformation. Deeply personal yet warmly relatable, these poems flow from Spanish to English gracefully. With Gloria Anzald a's foundational work as an inspiration, Meditaci n Fronteriza unveils unique images that provide nuance and depth to the narrative of the borderlands.

Poems addressed to talented and influential women such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Adrienne Rich, among others, pour gratitude and recognition into the collection. While many of the poems in Meditaci n Fronteriza are gentle and inviting, there are also moments that grieve for the state of the borderlands, calling for political resistance.
