Missing Women

"This poem is dedicated to the women who have gone missing from history and from their own lives."
"I began writing this poem is 2011 and I suspect I have not yet finished. It has been revised several times, most importantly to include the addition of the back half of the poem, where a handful of women and girls in Canada who died by suicide or murder are named. There are so many more whose names and stories we do not know."

"Just in case you were curious, these stories and rambles were banged out in the midst of working on a completely different writing project about guys from Mexico and Central America who sneak over the US border and ride around the freight train lines looking for work. My plan was to write exciting travel stories that would educate people about the global economy and give voice to a section of the population that hardly ever gets heard. Unfortunately, I kept finding myself in all these fucked up situations where I wanted to be able to help people who desperately needed it but all I had was my pen and my journal and it didn't feel like enough. The "Vida Secreta" title is just a perspective joke, it's coming from being a white kid writing about another people's culture and problems, trying to figure out my role in it all as an outsider and remembering to laugh."
