Poetic Obituaries: "What's strange is that we're fighting

to eliminate feminicide in Juarez and, look, she died that way, in the hands of criminals," said her friend, Linda Meza.

[Susana] Chavez was a well-known artist in the city across from El Paso, Texas, a prominent member of the group May Our Daughters Return Home, comprised of family members and friends of the slain Juarez women and girls. Her only book, "Song to a City in the Desert," grew from a cry from the heart against violence, she wrote, and included the poem "Blood," written from the perspective of a victim.
