Mexican of birth and upbringing, and one of 47 million immigrants to the US.

Intellectual laborer—bracera intelectual, remittance sender, mother to two Mexican-Americans. Bicultural and bilingual.

Married to a Dutch woman who joined me in the US thanks to Edie Windsor.

My work appears in the Best of Solstice, Feminine Rising, Solstice Selects, and Under the Volcano anthologies, and in journals such as Ariadna, Barcelona Review, Cronopio, Flash Frontier, Flyway, Label me Latina, Letralia, Luvina, and Revista de Literatura Mexicana Contemporánea. My novel ARRIBADA (Cynren Press, 2022) was finalist of Feminist Press’s 2019 Louise Meriwether prize. I am now preparing my bilingual collection LA ERA / THE AGE OF AQUARIUS. 

I teach at Middlebury College in Vermont, but I spend as much time as I can in Ajijic and Mazatlán.
