Blue Cactus Press, paperback

Publication Date: 2023

First published in 2017, this pocket-sized poetry collection explores Vegas cultural and geographic roots as a Chicana in the American Southwest. Vega sends readers down a path of memories, dreams, and warnings, asking them to witness the liminality of borderland existence. The poems in this collection, whether by omission, change, or preservation, illuminate Vegas lived experiences as their queerness, cultural frameworks, and home drifttoward and away from borderlands.
