Arsenal/Sin Documentos is a documentary poetics project that examines the criminalization of Latin American bodies through U.S. policy. It consists of a series of linked documentary poems composed of appropriated language from U.S. government documents, such as: the Immigration and Nationality Act, the U.S. patent for Taser hand-held stun guns, materials from the Office of English Language Programs designed to instruct immigrants on assimilation into U.S. culture, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Use of Force Policy, Guidelines and Procedures Handbook."Francesco Levato's Arsenal/Sin Documentos is a courageous book. More importantly, it is a necessary book. Every discourse is constructed with an intention, and this type of poetry demands a ruthless, fearless deconstruction of that discourse in order to reveal the truth."Gabino Iglesias, author of Zero Saints and Coyote Songs
