Whether mourning the tragic suffocating deaths of immigrants in a tractor trailer, lamenting the loss of a lover, or writing about childhood fears, Huerta sketches haunting pieces about a bilingual, bicultural experience. In Coyote, Huerta evokes a child's unvoiced fear about his father, who, his cousins tell him, is a coyote, an immigrant smuggler.

Winner of the University of California, Irvine's 2005 Chicano/Latino Literary Prize, this debut collection marks the arrival of a vibrant new voice in Mexican American literature.
