In Among the Mariposas, Katherine Hoerth emerges as an authentic new poetic voice in the Rio Grande Valley. She is both an insider and outsider in this predominantly Mexican-American region, embracing the local culture even as she feels edgy about her place within it. Her poetry holds up a mirror to the lyrical beauty of the Tex-Mex border and the muddy waters that run through it. The smell of tortillas and the juice of watermelons fill these pages with the vibrancy of life!
Steven P. Schneider, author of Unexpected Guests and Borderlines: Drawing Border Lives
In these sensitive and sensory poems of experience and witness, Katherine Hoerth writes of “being only halfway / there”– halfway between the home of the past and the home of the present, halfway between the culture of the borderlands and striving to “blend” and “belong.” Neither here nor there, the poet is not afraid to write with an emotional honesty that is also perceptive of economic disparities: “the barn called city hall,” “a virgin’s veil of colonias,” and “children who / grow numb long / before they grow / tall.” These are the borderlands of hope and walls, and giving up at times, but not “say[ing] goodbye.”
Emmy Perez, Assistant Professor at UTPA, author of Solstice
