In Barbed Wire Between Us, a single poem holds two lives, separated by decades yet bound by the same stretch of barbed wire.
Read forward, a Japanese American girl is uprooted and sent to an incarceration camp during World War II, her world reduced to dust, distance, and longing. Read in reverse, and the poem transforms: now a Latina girl stands in that same place, detained generations later, her story echoing across time.
With language as spare as it is powerful, Mia Wenjen shapes a reverso poem that reveals how history can fold in on itself--how loss, resilience, and hope repeat in new forms. Violeta Encarnaci
