FINALIST OF THE 2020 INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS

WINNER OF THE 2019 SAN DEIGO BOOK AWARDS

AWARD-WINNING FINALIST IN THE POETRY CATEGORY OF 2019 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS

How to Pull Apart the Earth is an homage to the intrinsic thread that weaves the culture of Mexico together with the United States, and the echo of colonization that works to erase it. Cordero skillfully exemplifies the complexity & beauty of growing up in a borderland, and the sacrifices paid for the dream.
