| Mexican-Canadian poet and translator Dora Prieto writes from Ohlone land (Oakland, CA), where she is a 2025–27 Wallace Stegner Fellow in Poetry at Stanford. Her debut poetry collection is forthcoming with House of Anansi (April 2027), and she is a member of El Mashup Collective, where she collaborates on interdisciplinary artistic experiments. Her work has appeared in Acentos Review, Best New Poets 2025, Catapult, Hazlitt, the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival, and elsewhere. She won the 2025 RBC Bronwen Wallace Award for Poetry. She is an auntie, a dreamer, a thinker, and a cold ocean swimmer—despite a close encounter with a shark as a kid. ♡☆ @primadora_ |
