Böcker av Leon Salvatierra

To the North/Al norte is part of a growing field of narratives told by formerly undocumented or undocumented writers in the United States. It is a hybrid book of poetry written in Spanish by the Nicaraguan poet León Salvatierra, who mixes lyric and prose poems to explore migration, exile, violence, dislocation, among other themes that stem from the transnational experience of the Central American diaspora that emerged from the civil wars in the 1980s.
