Alfredo Aguilar

April 25, 2023

Yield to No Country (Poetry), Lockhart, TX

Yield to No Country is a collection of poems that chronicles the intersecting histories of increased militarization on the U.S/Mexico border alongside personal and familial memory.

“I hope through an orientation in memory/history we might take up the responsibility of imagining a future without the cruelty of militarized boundaries.”

Alfredo Aguilar is the author of the full-length poetry collection On This Side of the Desert (Kent State University Press 2020), selected by Natalie Diaz for the Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize. He is a recipient of 92Y’s Discovery Poetry Contest and has been awarded fellowships from MacDowell, the Bread Loaf Writers Conference, and the Frost Place. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Poetry Northwest, The Paris Review, The Yale Review and elsewhere. Born and raised in North County San Diego, he now resides in Central Texas where he is a fellow at the Michener Center for Writers.
