About the Poets:

As a Community Literature Initiative alum, Alex Petunia released her first poetry collection Tending My Wild in 2021 through World Stage Press. She's performed throughout Los Angeles, New York, Paris and at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. She enjoys typing poems on demand for community and tabling with her handmade creative joys. When she's not in nursing scrubs or on the mic, she hosts Meditation Monday and Writers in the Wild with the Los Angeles Poet Society. Her favorite self care activity is reading poetry to her garden with her furry babies and cuddly python.

Juan Amador is an actor and spoken-word artist from South Central LA. He’s excited to release his first poetry book titled Pimping My Trauma with Riots of Roses Publishing. He cannot wait to see it in everyone's hands in Fall 2024.

Anastasia Helena Fenald (b.1992) is a second-generation Ukrainian-Hispanic-American poet from California’s windy High Desert. She has a B.A. in Global Studies from the University of Riverside, California (2014) and an M.A. in Globalization and Development from the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom (2015). Known for her energetic attitude and poignant poems, she spends most of her free time devouring fanfiction, performing at open mics, and forgetting to drink water until bedtime.

Mauricio Moreno aka Soul on Fire, is a 1st generation Colombian-American artist and writer. His debut poetry collection 'Anatomy of a Flame' was released by Los Angeles Poet Society Press on July 16th of 2023. He is their first single author to release a poetry book. Just like his name, he himself is an elemental spirit guiding people on their travels to discover their own raw power and potential. If you are in darkness, allow his words to be your flame.
