Lourdes Figueroa is a queer Chicanx oral poet and an award winning poetry filmmaker whose work is a dialogue of her lived experience when her family worked in el azadón—tilling of the soil under the blistering sun. She is the author of the chapbooks yolotl, Ruidos=Learn Speak, and Vuelta. Forthcoming in Mexico is her long verse poem I will kiss your mouth b/w the overgrown Milpa. Discover her latest poems in the Mexican Journal Tierra Adentro and latest poetry film Las Marimacha Fragments, made in collaboration with Filmmaker Peggy Peralta within 3rd Thing's Press's A Good Symptom: A Serial Anthology of Time Based Disturbances. Figueroa celebrates your pocha marimachita tongue. A native of limbo nation, she continues to believe in your lung and your throat.
