Renata Gonzales - Poetess in training - Professional Augur

A woman with red hair, glasses, and tattoos on her arms, lying on her back in a relaxed pose, wearing a white lace top and a necklace, with a smile and a wink.

My current writing obsessions include: strange dreams I keep having, my lover, new words I find in the dictionary, intimacy via bar soap, former party girl days, liminal spaces I think of often, my garden growing, my chronic pain via scoliosis, visions/signs/patterns, my evil office job, sunsets on the curb, who I have been/who I am/who I will become.

UNM MFA for Creative Writing in Poetry
