Marcel Monroy

Los Angeles based poet and cellist, Marcel Monroy is a queer femme Latinx person with he/him pronouns. His writing is inspired by a blend of personal experiences with addiction, growing up in the repressive and racist American South, and the works of authors such as James Baldwin, Allen Ginsburg, Audre Lorde, and Gloria Anzaldúa. He currently attends the University of California Santa Cruz and is apart of an artist collective called Family Dinner located in LA, where he is working on his first collection of poems and an EP. His work has previously been published in Mixed Life, a digital magazine, and will be featured in The Whole Alphabet, an anthology of queer contemporary poets released by So Say We All publications.
