I'm a Mexican American poet, painter, wife, mother and aspiring micro-farmer. In my work, I explore myths and folklore as well as motherhood, plants and the lineages of all things. I was born in West Palm Beach, Florida and I grew up there with my parents, brother and sister. I studied fine art for many years, specializing in painting, both in high school and college. I have a B.A. in cultural anthropology from the University of West Florida and an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. My work has been published or is forthcoming in Rattle, Luna Luna and Fairy Tale Review, among others. My first collection, Dirt and Honey, is available from Green Writers Press. My chapbook, Tales From the House of Vasquez, is the winner of the 2018 Rattle Chapbook Prize and is available from the Rattle website. I'm represented by Elizabeth Bewley of Sterling Lord Literistic.

Featured Article: Hit the Open Highway with the 40+ Best Road Trip Listens for Your Next Journey


It takes more than great storytelling to be the right fit for each type of road trip. What works for a cross-country adventure may not be quite right for a quick day trip. What you listen to with your significant other may not be (read: is definitely not) the same as what you listen to with a carload of kids. And when driving solo, sometimes what you want is a little company. No matter what kind of journey you have coming up, we’ve got you covered.
