The poems in this debut collection are strung together by an eventful survival narrative that resists assimilation and draws from Indigenous roots and nostalgia for place. Set in Mexico-Tenochtitlan and border towns, these poems address the lingering effects of historical invasions and displacement from one’s homeland through the intimate lens of family estrangement, fragmentation and the resultant grief. Luz Schweig negotiates the tension between native and immigrant experiences by weaving Spanish and Nahuatl words into English verse that, ultimately, joyfully celebrates identity complexities and ancestry beyond generational trauma. 

Paper Stars is an anthology of poems about becoming. Written across two decades, these pieces move through love and loss, addiction and recovery, fatherhood, fury, mercy, and the quiet work of staying human in a fractured world. Rooted in myth and grounded in the everyday, these poems braid tenderness with grit, bearing witness to what breaks us and what binds us back together.

These are poems for those who have stood in empty galleries of their own making. For those who have loved what they could not keep. For those who have wrestled faith, survived themselves, and learned that healing often leaves a seam.
