"Here to Stay' seeks to challenge misconceptions of what it means to write as an undocumented person in 21st-century America and to offer a vision of the possibilities of our art."
"In the fight for immigrant rights, the people who I have lost the most have been us, the undocumented. We cannot let this country take away our ability to smile."
I wish you would ask about the memories / I had before my identity became political / about the laughs / the joy / the things I love / about the way I have managed to survive.
The anthology's editors organize the book alphabetically by each poets' surname, rather than grouping contributors by immigration status or their relationship to a particular nation.
