The truth about immigration is in the hearts of the immigrants. It is what happens when they are called and pushed to El Norte. Today many new immigrants are Mixteco speakers. They immigrate seeking better lives. They are leaving behind discrimination against their language and their culture. The poems here share part of Natalia's heart. The poetry contains her feelings about language, loss and friendship. The prices she has paid and what she has gained come through in her poems. Most of all, they share some of what it means to raise children and make friends in the US while still loving distant parents and her homeland of Oaxaca, Mexico. Here are Natalia's original Spanish poems with their English translations.
