Arte Latino NOW 2022!

Very gratified to be included in the virtual exhibit Arte Latino NOW 2022. which includes my poem in two parts--"Native."

Beatriz F. Fernandez: Writer - ARTE LATINO NOW 2022 Virtual Exhibition, Performance and Readings (dropmark.com)

This poem was inspired by a class I attended in the Fall, 2021 with Presidential Inaugural poet Richard Blanco, and by his new book, How to Love a Country.  




Celebrating National Poetry Month 2022 with two publications!

 



A little late, but now announcing two of my historical poems were published during National Poetry Month in a new Copperfield Review anthology, Made by History: An Anthology of Historical Fiction!

"Nova's Voice" a feminist, persona poem published in MER (Mom Egg Review) 20!

Inspired by the iconic final scene in the original The Planet of the Apes film, "Nova's Voice" was published in Mom Egg Review's Mother Figures issue--just in time for Mother's Day!  I sent my Mom a copy--she's 99 years young!  She always encouraged me to write and kept everything I ever wrote from Kindergarten verses on.
