Matthew 18:3 We are indescribably thrilled about the tailoring initiative that just began here in our Colonia Palo Chino.

Poetry on the Border

Benjamin Saenz is a Latino poet living in the Borderland. He lives in El Paso and has been doing a series of poems called Odes to Juarez. Saenz’s choice to stay on the border, creating on behalf of the oppressed and disenfranchised, is admirable. His poems are candid, like a mirror over the Borderland reflecting [...]
