It could be said that Javier Zamora is a Salvadoran poet who writes about immigration. Or it could be said in a different way: that Javier Zamora writes pressingly about the human search for a homeplace, at any age and through any hateful obstacle.
In this bestselling memoir, Zamora does that and more. Like the fellow migrants who took his young hand during a perilous journey, he generously takes ours. A more timely book does not exist.
