Product Information

Searing verses set on the Mexican border about war and addiction, love and sexual violence, grief and loss, from an American Book Award-winning author. Selected by Gregory Pardlo as winner of the National Poetry Series. El Paso is one of the safest cities in the United States, while across the river, Ciudad Ju rez suffers a history of femicides and a horrific drug war. Witnessing this, a Filipina's life unravels as she tries to love an addict, the murders growing just a city--but the breadth of a country--away. This collection weaves the personal with recent history, the domestic with the tragic, asking how much "a body will hold," reaching from the border to the poet's own Philippines. These poems thirst in the desert, want for water, searching the brutal and tender territories between bodies, families, and nations.

Reviews
"In For Want of Water , Sasha Pimentel threads the complex and intricate geographies of lives across borders: Wyoming, Montparnasse, Saudi Arabia, Ilocos, Manila, but primarily El Paso and Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, where there have been more than forty-eight thousand documented fatalities and more than five thousand disappeared in relation to the drug trade. With an unstinting eye, Pimentel gathers in this book the disembodied, the lost and unhomed, the migrants at the border, the ones holding meth in their palms like 'crystal glittering,' the ones in the throes of withdrawal, border officials building electric walls, prisoners made to take off their clothes, the dead who have been machine-gunned at drug rehabilitation centers. In poems lit with premonition, though the maternal body is a 'womb of cold tile' and itself a map of previous domestication and violence, it is to the image of mother that the poet continually turns, because she was that first tensing bird or goat hoof rustle 'above mud, before harm.' As in the story of the boy who winds up dragging his dehydrated mother's body across the desert, what Pimentel enacts in these harrowing but beautiful poems is the persistence of longing--how even in our most separate, divided, complicit, guarded existences, we'll push toward that uneven line, that verge at the horizon where clouds promise to deliver rain like an absolution. The crossings Pimentel speaks of are perilous, but I am glad to have her as a guide, because she has the capacity for finding the smallest lights in the incinerated cities, shining through glass or the throats of pipes." --Luisa A. Igloria, author of Ode to the Heart Smaller Than a Pencil Eraser

My book is perfect! Terrific seller and I appreciate their their support when the USPS sent my book on a tour of 10 states trying to get to me. Totally not the sellers fault but they were so kind to check for me and to let me know when it was coming. A++ Seller!
