geography/poetry, print/digital, teaching/building, and mexico/canada. these are not contradictions i need to resolve, they are the conditions of my practice. the boundary is where the work happens. this is also anzaldua's borderlands, a territory and not a margin.

in ecology, the most biodiverse zones are at the boundaries between ecosystems, where forest meets grassland and river meets land. these edges create conditions neither ecosystem alone could support. nepantla names the lived experience of this from the inside.
