Abstract

The poem responds to a photograph by Ilana Panich-Linsman that appeared in the magazine Mother Jones. It depicts a migrant, Arlen Cruz, holding her two year-old daughter as rain soaks the camp at a sports complex in Tijuana, Mexico, where many migrants in the caravan from Central America had been staying for two weeks.
