dc.description.abstractA collection of poems and images with a critical introduction based on personal and historical experiences surrounding south Texas. Emphasizing a distinct Tejano perspective on craft, the found fragments of experience are (re)collected and pieced together here in a mosaic of lyric presentation. This thesis blurs the lines between activism and art as it engages with on the ground investigations surrounding the humanitarian crisis near the southern border, where numerous migrants perish in their attempt to circumvent highway checkpoints in the U.S. Combining this narrative with my own experiences of personal grief, this thesis aims to politicize mourning into fruitful action by way of poetry.
