El país de las calles sin nombre, es un poemario que habla de la manera en que los nicaragüenses manejan las direcciones: del arbolito una abajo, del arbolito una al lago; es el ladrillo de la casa que lleva consigo, como amuleto, una inmigrante. Representa un espacio cultural hispano dentro de los Estados Unidos. Podríamos leer el libro como si se tratara de un códice indígena, ahora globalizado. Porque en él se superponen diferentes hilos temáticos, entre ellos el de género, que logra su cúspide con el poema más caníbal: Boa Constrictor. En estas calles sin nombre, María Augusta pinta su imaginario como si se tratara de un graffiti en las paredes del mundo.
