“Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration, Survival, and New Beginnings” is a collection of 41 works by migrants.
Danyelle Khmara A new anthology of essays, poetry and art created and compiled by undocumented or formerly undocumented migrants includes a Tucson author and is a first of its kind, say the book’s editors, who are also formerly undocumented.
People are also reading… When putting together the proposal, Guiñansaca and co-editor Reyna Grande, who are both acclaimed writers, reached out to some award-winning artists to ask for contributions to the book. Then they put out a call for contributors, during the first year of the pandemic and not knowing what the response would be, and got more than 150 submissions.
Javier Zamora, author of the poetry collection full-length poetry collection “Unaccompanied” and an upcoming memoir “Solito,” is a Tucson-based writer who has three poems in the anthology. “I feel seen and not really used,” he says. “I felt freer, and I think free in the way that a human should feel. I think that is why I went to poetry first. The opportunity to be part of this anthology reminded me of that freedom.”
“So not just thinking of migration through this one singular lens of border immigration but thinking through a reproductive-justice lens, to parenting to mental health to LGBTQI issues,” Guiñansaca says.
