The immigration story of Sophia, from El Salvador, told in an epic poem. This is a quick and meaningful read, and Baca uses repetition very effectively. It is unclear if this story is based on someone he knows, multiple people he has met, or other research. I first read Baca in college 25 years ago, I had no idea he has had such a successful career—publications, awards, screenwriting, a nonprofit. #poetry
