One of my favorite sayings is Maya Angelou's "We are all more alike than we are unlike." Those words, as well as my parents’ constant, "You're in America, you can be anything," help fuel the power of my words. Am I a Chicana poet? A feminist poet? A socially-active poet? I'll let you decide. For me, the journey is about finding my way in the world.Accepting the beauty and coflicts of my culture, Hispanic and American, and letting the language that lives inside me evoke emotion and memory for my readers and listeners. Many thanks for browsing the Website. I hope something touches your heart and or your brain, and that you see the wonder of life that we all celebrate.
