About

A Hedgebrook and Community of Writers alumna, and SF Grotto and CantoMundo fellow, her writing has been influenced by her early experience fleeing Argentina’s 1976 coup, subsequent childhood in Venezuela, and immigration to the United States at the age of nine. In 2011, she was a reader at the Festival Internacional de PoesÃa de Rosario. In 2020, she read at the 8th Winter Warmer Poetry Festival in Cork, Ireland. Ituizángo: Exiles and Reveries is her first collection.
