Does anyone know what the book "borders" by Pat Mora is about?

Question

It's a poem book. Or do you know anywhere where i can find a summary about it?

Answer 1

In Borders, Mora explores the political, cultural, social, and emotional borders that divide people, forming their individual identities. "We begin one of Mora's poems as if embarking on an exploration of an unknown country. When we finish, we have learned so much about its topology we feel we can claim the land as ours. These are arduous expeditions, though, for both writer and reader. You don't plant your flag without earning the right" (El Paso Times.)
