What happens to a body after migration? What happens to a body that crosses borders between two nation-states? Is it relevant that both nation-states happen to be fiercely nationalistic, each in their own very violently patriarchal way? What happens when these migrant bodies are racialized and sexualized on both sides of the border, as it happens to many immigrants who are Black or Afrodescendants, Indigenous, Queer? What happens when a body is located at the intersections of these markers? Which violences are revealed by this displacement? Which of them remain hidden? In their first full-length poetry collection, Alán Peláez López answers these questions through poetry, which is a powerful epistemological tool, as the author knows.
