At the centre of Kara Candito's second poetry collection is the struggle of a US citizen and a Mexican citizen to find a common space and language in their relationship while navigating the immigration system, a process that sometimes requires magical thinking just to endure. By employing a kind of documentary poetics that views the application process through different angles and perspectives, Candito crafts discourses around xenophobia, otherness, and national and ethnic identity.
