I Was Undocumented for 21 Years. This Is Why I Tell My Story
Credit - Getty Images For 21 years, I was undocumented. While I am an American citizen now, this fact still remains the boldest and most dangerous thing I can say out loud. The danger of being undocumented, of course—greatly heightened by President Donald Trump's administration—is of deportation. When my family entered this country, my parents warned me of the possible consequences. 'If you tell anyone you're illegal, they'll report you to Homeland Security,' they'd say. I was four years old. There's an existential power that deportation holds over the undocumented community. It is another form of death, never to see your loved ones again from home. That's how it felt for me—too young to remember my birth country of Brazil. It's no wonder The Wonderful Wizard of Oz transfixed me as the first book in English I stayed up late to read; it made an image of what deportation might be like: a sudden and violent transport to an unknown realm (or so I'd been told about Brazil, compared to Queens, N.Y., since I could barely remember it when parents came to America) where one's only mission is to return home. Though I claimed no citizenship in the U.S. at the time, I found citizenship in literature. Literature is an easy place to make a home, and my schoolteachers and librarians invited me out of Oz and onto the American prairie, the English drawing room, and to poetry. They directed me toward Homer, Emily Dickinson, and Audre Lorde. They assigned writing, too; for poetry is never solely to be read. They showed me that part of literature's generosity is that one may try a hand in creating it, in joining the great conversation that crisscrosses generations, cultures, languages, and people—the glorious and the meek. As I became a poet, literature—and the power of the language—continued to be my most stable home. Read More: Inside Donald Trump's Mass-Deportation Operation Growing up, I wanted to be like Jack Gilbert, Elizabeth Bishop, even Adrienne Rich, poets who I imagined bore traits I perceived as quintessentially American: so cheerful, I thought, in their privileges that they had to conjure their artistic melancholy. So, at the writing table, I pretended my fears were not mine, but of a stranger; and that I was a typical Asian American, whose problems were 'merely' bigotry and, say, filial piety. Problems that I too confronted but felt safer to discuss on the page than my status. Generations of immigrant writers had demonstrated how one writes on such troubles, and it would be expected of me, since I look like an Asian American. Instead of writing about my whole undocumented self, I pretended I was an actor of heroines, like Joan Chen and Gong Li. Someone who surely had no legal problems to obscure from my classmates. But dishonesty of this nature does not yield good art—at least, not truthful art. And my poems were skittish, little creatures. Like blindfolded sheep, they bumped around the fields of my page, grazing, stumbling, and ultimately beset by the wolves that were my bewildered classmates, who were keen enough readers to notice that these poems weren't quite working, but without the context to understand why. And how could they? A lifetime of pretending I was just another American meant that when I tried to speak honestly, I couldn't actually do it. Ostensibly, I had much to write about. I could've written about how my father had designed hydroelectric dams in Brazil and then labored at a laundromat in New York City. Or how both my parents survived civil war and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Or how, in the U.S., my mother sought refuge in Dami Mission, a doomsday cult that prophesied a mass rapture to heaven. But these were all unavailable to me; I couldn't write about any of it. I first needed to feel secure to tell my story. Perhaps it is surprising to learn that even as a naturalized citizen, I remain wary to this day. My green card arrived when I was 27. Yet I did not travel abroad for another seven years, and that was to Canada. The outside world had become forbidden fruit—and an object of dread. My writing, however, was impatient to change. The year I received my green card, Irish poet and professor Eamon Grennan counseled me. He said: 'Esther, lay bare the narrative field.' What he meant was, tell the story. Tell my story. Slowly, I did. My first decent poems imagined parts of my mother's life. What I guessed about her feelings. I wrote about being her daughter. I described my father's voyage from Hong Kong to Brazil by way of Africa. I wrote about Queens. Eventually, I wrote about my own experience of being undocumented. I followed Grennan's advice: I laid bare the narrative field. My first book, titled Cold Thief Place, reads like a memoir in poems. A memoir was not necessarily my intention, but the book does tell the stories of how my mother frog-leaped from marriage to marriage to defect from China. Of how I muddled through my own marriage, which made me eligible to apply for a green card. Of how two signs, 'European only' and 'Black only,' at a post office in South Africa baffled my father. Telling stories allowed for another discovery: just as I fell in love with the raw, fickleness of the English sentence, its straightforward subject-predicate structure began to enchant me, too. I like a brutally direct poem, with unembroidered language and simple, but elegant, syntax. Such a structure means I cannot hide or delay the revelation of things that are painful but true. I laugh when one of my poems emerges especially dark. It's dark because I was truthful. Sometimes, there is no solace. Unlike African American poets, we undocumented poets do not hold centuries of literary tradition, with great names like Phillis Wheatley, Lawrence Dunbar, and Gwendolyn Brooks. Among the general population, we cannot identify who is undocumented or a citizen—it is taboo to ask casually what an immigrant's visa status is, or it should be taboo to ask about such private, life-determining matters. Like the LGBTQIA+ community, we undocumented may or may not be 'out' about our status. Happily, though, there is a 'we.' In 2015, three poets formed the Undocupoets, an organization that I now co-run, with two other formerly undocumented poets, Janine Joseph and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo. Our organization awards three $500 fellowships each year to other undocumented poets and raises awareness within and without the literary world. As of this writing, Janine has published two books of poems, most recently Decade of the Brain, and Marcelo has published a book of poems and a memoir, titled Children of the Land. My first book, titled Cold Thief Place, came out in March. So this is a young tradition. Our other work is ensuring that undocumented people and citizens know of this tradition. We don't wish to pass as simply American, as if we do not hold a uniquely American story. Rather, we wish to help archive undocumented art, because we are a fundamental part of this country's history. And we wish to let undocumented writers know that they too are part of a we (if they wish); and that our community is larger than we think. We are vocal; we are present. Contact us at letters@

Thomas Frank's to-do list at Tottenham Hotspur
Thomas Frank is set to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, with the Brentford boss nearing a move across the capital. The Dane has won plenty of admirers during his time at Brentford, consolidating the West Londoners in the Premier League on a comparatively modest budget. He will inherit a Tottenham team who endured their lowest league finish since 1977, but who simultaneously ended a 17-year trophy drought with Europa League success. We've looked at five things in Thomas Frank's in-tray at Tottenham. Thomas Frank's to-do list at Tottenham Hotspur Sort recruitment focus – and quickly The change of manager already leaves Spurs behind the eight ball in this summer's window. The hesitancy to sack Ange Postecoglou following his European triumph means the North Londoners have lost ground on rival sides. In the mini-window opened ahead of the Club World Cup, Spurs failed to make a signing. Advertisement In contrast, Liam Delap (Chelsea), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United), Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders (all Manchester City) and Jeremie Frimpong (Liverpool) all moved to potential top-four rivals. Spurs need to strengthen in key areas and Frank has minimal time to assess his squad and targets. The transfer window re-opens on June 16th. Find solution to injury problems Spurs' season was decimated by injury problems last term, with only Brighton having more individual injuries (47) than the North Londoners (41). The Seagulls were also the only Premier League team to have a higher number of days lost to injuries (1,944 to 1,543). Advertisement Repetitive injuries plagued the club's campaign and Frank will need to review their medical record. Was this just bad luck? Or were Spurs victims of Ange Postecoglou's game plan? Can the club's recovery and training be improved? There's plenty to ponder. Make tough decisions on waning stars For all his critics, Ange Postecoglou has left Spurs in a good place for his successor. The North Londoners had the third-youngest squad in the Premier League last season, with only Brighton and Chelsea less experienced. The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall will have benefitted from a baptism of fire last season, while academy product Mikey Moore is one for the future. Advertisement Frank faces tough calls on those at the other end of the scale. Rodrigo Bentancur's unavailability is a concern, while Son Heung-min has not looked the player of old. Many neutrals were happy to see Son finally get his hands on silverware, but could it be the ideal time to bow out? He scored just seven league goals last season and does not possess the same electricity as in previous years. Son is 33 next month and has spent a decade with Spurs. A call on the captain is a tough one. Bring Brentford strengths to North London Frank's data-focused methodology has won admirers, with a recent insight into Brentford's decisions in the final third fascinating. A clamp-down on speculative shooting and focus on probability helped Brentford become one of the most efficient teams in the league. Elsewhere, set-pieces were a real strong point. Last season, just three teams conceded more goals from set-pieces than Spurs. Brentford boasted the best record in the entire Premier League on his metric, conceding just twice from such situations. A clear area of improvement to target. Advertisement Read – Club World Cup: Five exciting young talents to watch See more – Florian Wirtz: What will record-breaker bring to Liverpool?

Golazo Merchants: Brazil's Little Magician, Philippe Coutinho
As thousands of fans push themselves through turnstiles and pack into Premier League venues, it's with a sense of anticipation and the hope that the next ninety minutes deliver something unforgettable. For those of a Liverpool persuasion, the nimble feet and repertoire of tricks from Philippe Coutinho so often proved worth the admission fee alone. Advertisement In an era in which English football has become ever more cosmopolitan, Coutinho represented the best of a brilliant football nation. Brazil has a long and storied history of producing elite talents, footballers who take to the pitch and express themselves without constraints, always willing to try something out of the ordinary to gain an advantage. Coutinho's arrival into the Premier League came in the closing stages of the 2013 January transfer window, with Brendan Rodgers gambling on the young midfielder as he sought to inject some flair into a mediocre Liverpool side. Rodgers had been in charge for six months and with Liverpool languishing in seventh sanctioned deals to sign Coutinho from Inter Milan and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge. Advertisement Coutinho had been earmarked as one of Brazil's brightest talents following his emergence at Vasco da Gama, but the inevitable move to Europe had failed to work out as hoped as he struggled to make an impression at the San Siro. There were bright moments, including a fine performance in a 4-3 win over Tottenham in the Champions League. He was loaned to Espanyol and thrived in Spain, but his return to Inter once again saw him fail to dislodge senior stars and the Nerazzurri opted to cash in when an £8.5m offer arrived from Anfield. It was a decision the Serie A side would come to regret. Despite his slight stature he soon made an impression at Liverpool, with his sublime first touch and eye for a pass seeing Coutinho form an instant understanding with Luis Suarez and fellow winter window signing Sturridge. Advertisement Operating from the left, the sight of Coutinho cutting inside and inter-linking with the front two became a familiar one as he grew in confidence in England. The 2013/14 season saw him shifted inwards as part of a midfield diamond, as Liverpool came close to ending their long wait for a Premier League title. With Steven Gerrard reinvented in a Regista role and Coutinho and Raheem Sterling buzzing behind the twin threat of Sturridge and Suarez, Liverpool scored 101 goals on their way to a runners-up finish. Embed from Getty Images Coutinho had shown flashes of his brilliance, including a winner in a pulsating clash with City at Anfield, but he was soon to take on a more prominent role. Advertisement Liverpool's title-chasing team had been rapidly dismantled in the year that followed the club's near miss. Luis Suarez departed for Barcelona in 2014, whilst the following summer saw the fading force of Steven Gerrard leave for Los Angeles and Raheem Sterling move on to Manchester City. Coutinho was now the leading light and it was a spotlight he began to revel in. He ended the 2014/15 season on the shortlist for the PFA Player of the Year award despite a return of just five goals, with his very finest being this outrageous effort against Southampton. Some footballers possess a signature strike and for Coutinho, it's this, a shift inside from the left channel and hit that seems hell-bent on finding its way into the stanchion as soon as it leaves his magical boot. Advertisement Bonus marks for the added aesthetic of the ball cannoning in off the crossbar, here. The failure to repeat the club's title challenge and a poor start to the following campaign saw Rodgers replaced at Anfield, with the Reds naming former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp as his replacement. The infancy of Klopp's reign saw Coutinho's role questioned and debate as to whether the fleet-footed and free-spirited Brazilian would be able to adjust to his new manager's demands. Klopp's side were entertaining and expansive, whilst retaining the vulnerability that simultaneously creates excitement and denies challenges for major honours. Advertisement Coutinho continued to shine, however, adding a sprinkling of Samba to Klopp's heavy-metal football. He was instrumental in the Reds' run to the Europa League final, scoring a brilliant individual effort as Manchester United were eliminated in the first-ever European meeting between the two North-West rivals. A signature drop of the shoulder left Guillermo Varela in his wake before an audacious scooped finish from an acute angle bamboozled David de Gea and secured Liverpool's passage to the next stage. He scored 12 goals in all competitions that season with his highlight reel becoming ever more spectacular, earning a second successive club Player of the Season award before enjoying the best individual season of his career in 2016/17. Advertisement Whether used as a central number ten or drifting inside from the left he found a way to influence proceedings, with his velvet first touch and remarkable ability to chop and change direction leaving a trail of defenders in his wake. So often he would accelerate from a standing start down the left before – in the knowledge more athletic defenders were chasing him down, shifting the ball inwards with the outside of his boot, using the unbalanced momentum of the chasing challenger to free himself infield for a shooting chance. He added a derby day special to his increasing collection of fantastic finishes in April 2017, scoring the second with a stunning solo goal in a 3-1 win over Everton. It was Coutinho-esque in its entirety, the demanding of possession and a twisting and turning drive towards goal before a bending finish into the far corner. Liverpool ended the season fourth and secured a return to the Champions League, but faced a fight to keep their leading light as Barcelona made their interest public. Advertisement Despite the midfielder's desire for a move to Catalonia and a strong approach from Barcelona, the transfer window passed with Coutinho remaining on Merseyside. He had become the fulcrum of the side, the centre-piece of an improving outfit that now boasted various avenues to goal. Mohamed Salah had arrived from Roma during the summer, whilst Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino helped form a forward contingent soon christened the 'Fab Four'. Even in a season that saw Salah shatter the Premier League's goal record, the first six months of the campaign saw Coutinho retain his title as Liverpool's leading light. Advertisement He scored a fabulous free-kick in a chaotic 3-2 win at Leicester in September, a goal that encapsulated his penchant for producing something out of nothing. The following month saw him add another trademark stunner from distance at Newcastle, with the Magpies making the mistake of affording the Brazilian far too much room as he cut inside. Standing off Coutinho had become a recipe for disaster. The goals were the highlight of performances that became ever more impressive, with Coutinho appearing as if he had pillows on his feet when the ball arrived in his possession and a rocket launcher when it left. As the winter window approached, Liverpool were forced to once again bat away questions regarding Coutinho's future. The threat of Barcelona's interest had only temporarily been removed, with the Catalans again lurking as January approached. Advertisement Klopp did all he could to persuade Coutinho to remain a part of his improving side, handing the Brazilian the captain's armband as he fired home a first career hat-trick during a 7-0 thrashing of Spartak Moscow in the Champions League. He later warned Coutinho about the pitfalls of leaving Liverpool for Spanish football's superpowers, but in the end, the temptation of Barcelona proved too much and in January a £142m deal was agreed – representing a record sale for Liverpool. 'Stay here, and they will build a statue in your honour. Go somewhere else, to Barcelona, to Bayern Munich, to Real Madrid, and you will be just another player. Here you can be something more.' – Jurgen Klopp on Philippe Coutinho Coutinho began brightly in Barcelona, but his fortunes soon deteriorated as he fell out of favour. Medals have come in the form of two La Liga titles, whilst he also won a Bundesliga treble, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble during a loan spell at Bayern Munich in 2019/20. Advertisement On each occasion, however, he has found himself on the outside looking in. An unhappy return to England at Aston Villa followed, before loan spells at Al-Duhail and Vasco de Gama as his star waned. The twinkle-toed tormentor of Premier League defences was a pale imitation after leaving Anfield. Klopp's warning had become, sadly, prophetic. At his best, 'The Little Magician' had been a joy to watch.
