María Fernanda (she/hers) writes and presents poetry. Her poems explore the intimacy of sisterhood, the anchor of intergenerational coexistence, and grief. In 2025, she spoke to audiences in Greece, Moscow, and Hamburg.
you and i, sistering
we are lightning
across the evening
[forthcoming, 2027]
my silence, an orb weaver’s silk
cocooning my throat
[Weekly Poem, dial 1-855-POEMRX2]
We wrote, we laughed, we dreamed out loud and left feeling lighter, brighter, and bolder thanks to María Fernanda. She plants gardens and lights fires, all while reminding us that the world depends on our critical thinking and our contributions as stewards.
