The highlands of Chiapas are smoldering with death. In the winter of 1997, paramilitary agents ambushed and killed many Mayan villagers in Acteal, Chiapas. Gifted writer Juan Felipe Herrera has composed a stirring poem sequence -- published in a bilingual format -- written in response and homage to those who died, as well as to all those who call for peace and justice in the Mexican highlands and throughout the Americas.

It deals with the destruction of a people and all evidence of their lives: Why am I Tzotzil? Why was I born in this land of so many storms?
