Fernanda Marroquin Gozalo

Fernanda will create a poetry book that documents the displacement of her and her family in 2000, when she was only eleven years old. Inspired by letters, stories, and drawings that she created for her parents before and after they migrated from Lima, Peru, Fernanda’s poems will be about various traumas caused by migration, and the path towards healing and liberation. Through the creation of her book and several accompanying workshops and readings, Fernanda hopes to provide a safe space for conversation around trauma and change the status quo of how people relate to undocumented immigrants.
