A powerful reverso poem about two girls separated by barbed wire and 80 years of history
Barbed Wire Between Us is a powerful reverso poem that tells two deeply resonant stories across time. It begins with a Japanese American girl sent to an internment camp in Oklahoma during World War II. Read in reverse, it reveals the journey of a Latina girl detained in the very same camp decades later, during the U.S. policy of migrant family separation. Harrowing and emotionally charged, this poetic narrative compels us to confront a haunting question: What have we truly learned in the past 80 years about how we treat the most vulnerable among us? With haunting symmetry and striking parallels, Barbed Wire Between Us is a moving meditation on justice, memory, and the echoes of history that still shape our present.

Hardback. Etat : New. Encarnación, Violeta (illustrateur). A breathtaking reverso poem about two girls-separated by barbed wire, connected across generations.? Starred review from Kirkus? Starred review from Publishers Weekly? Starred review from School Library JournalA Kirkus Most Anticipated Children's Book of Spring 2026In 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 Encarnación's evocative artwork deepens the emotional landscape, illuminating both the quiet tenderness and the stark realities of life behind the wire.Together, they create a book that reads like a mirror held up to the past-and the present.A luminous and unflinching meditation on memory, injustice, and the fragile promise of belonging, Barbed Wire Between Us lingers long after the final line-asking not only what happened, but what we choose to see, and what we dare to change.
