Thirty-nine voices mingle like the currents of our river, flowing into deep narrative resacas and rushing from lyrical reservoirs. Just as the Rio Grande wends its way through basins, bosques, deserts, fields-so these poems, stories and essays explore the variegated quiltwork of border culture, streaming somberly through the darkness and coruscating in the light. Contributors include Robert Paul Moreira, Rob Johnson, Rachel Vela, Katherine Hoerth, Jose Hernandez, Erika Garza, Edward Vidaurre, Christopher Carmona, Alejandro Fernandez Cabada and Alan Oak, among many others.

The Road to Llorona Park is a collection of short fiction about the changing world of la frontera/the borderlands of the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. The stories center around the current times when the political upheavals of Mexico began to effect peopleslives on both sides of the border.
