Sobre IBD

Line in the Sand is a collection of facts, impressions, and feelings that come from Prinnie McCourt’s two decades of living less than twenty miles from the US-Mexican border. The title comes from what a border really is: a line drawn in the sand. It also describes the lines of disillusioned immigrants who do cross that border, and the line of others, either dead or captured, who couldn’t. The poems reflect the strength, the sorrow, the pride, the compassion, the resilience, and the joy of those on both sides of this line.
