Writer and photographer Irene Reti lived with her friend/comadre Gloria Evangelina Anzalda (September 26, 1942 - May 15, 2004) for ten years in a house on the the edge of the sea in Santa Cruz, California. This photoessay interweaves images of Anzalda's house, and the border between ocean and land from where Anzalda drew inspiration and solace in the last period of her life. In her writing, Reti wrestles her grief over Anzalda's death from diabetes at age 61, but also pays tribute to the enduring prophetic power of Anzalda's theory of nepantla (in-between-ness/liminality), which is ever more relevant more than a decade after her death.
