"Borzutzky is aware that 'creative consultants waiting to turn this misery into poetry' are always waiting in the wings.

The dystopia here results from the very juxtaposition that is the hope of those migrants dying of thirst in the desert: a world of lack versus a world of absurdly overflowing plenty; a world numb-drunk on accumulated resources versus a world heightened in awareness by its own starvation.
