About the Author

Javier Zamora nació en La Herradura, El Salvador en 1990. Su padre tuvo que huir de su país natal cuando Zamora tenía un año y su madre tuvo que hacer lo mismo poco tiempo después. La Guerra Civil salvadoreña que financió Estados Unidos (1980-1992), los expulsó a ambos en menos de cinco años.
 
En 1999, Javier emigró también al norte, siguiendo la ruta de Guatemala y México, a través del desierto de Sonora en el último tramo. Después de que un coyote abandonara a su grupo en el Estado de Oaxaca, Javier logró llegar a Arizona con la ayuda de otros migrantes. Su primera colección de historias, Unaccompanied (Copper Canyon Press, septiembre de 2017), explora precisamente cómo la emigración y la guerra civil afectaron a su familia.

Zamora fue Becario de Radcliffe en la Universidad de Harvard en el curso 2018-2019 y ha obtenido becas de CantoMundo, Colgate University (Olive B. O'Connor), MacDowell, Macondo, el National Endowment for the Arts, la Fundación de Poesía (Ruth Lilly), la Universidad de Stanford (Stegner), y Yaddo. En 2017, recibió la Beca Literaria Lannan y, en 2016, el Premio Barnes & Noble "Writer for Writers" por su trabajo en la campaña Undocupoets.
 
Javier vive en Tucson, AZ, donde ha escrito sus memorias y una segunda colección de poemas.

ABOUT THIS AUTHOR...

Javier Zamora was born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990. His father fled El Salvador when he was a year old, and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents' migrations were caused by the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War (1980-1992).

In 1999, Javier migrated through Guatemala, Mexico, and eventually through the Sonoran Desert. After a coyote abandoned his group in Oaxaca, Javier managed to make it to Arizona with the aid of other migrants. His first full-length collection, Unaccompanied (Copper Canyon Press, September 2017), explores how immigration and the civil war have impacted his family.

Zamora was a 2018-2019 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University and holds fellowships from CantoMundo, Colgate University (Olive B. O'Connor), MacDowell, Macondo, the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Foundation (Ruth Lilly), Stanford University (Stegner), and Yaddo. He is the recipient of a 2017 Lannan Literary Fellowship, the 2017 Narrative Prize, and the 2016 Barnes & Noble Writer for Writers Award for his work in the Undocupoets Campaign.

Javier lives in Tucson, AZ, where he has written his memoir and a second collection of poems.
