His father fled the country when he was one, and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents' migrations were caused by the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War. When he was nine Javier migrated through Guatemala, Mexico, and the Sonoran Desert. His debut poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eUnaccompanied\u003c\/i\u003e, explores the impact of the war and immigration on his family.
