"A story of separation and displacement in two fictionalized voices: a person who has migrated, without papers, to the United States for work, and their partner who waits at home. Nostalgia Doesn't Flow Away Like Riverwater / Xilase qui riâe di' sicasi riâe nisa guiigu' / La Nostalgia no se marcha como el agua de los râios is a trilingual collection by one of the most prominent Indigenous poets in Latin America: Irma Pineda.
