Well, hello. My name is Loria and I’m a writer and artist. I have two books out and poetry published in some cool publications and anthologies, and an original piece of art called “Amor Si Existe” hanging in the Capitol of Texas. I have an MA and MFA in writing and teach Composition and Literary Studies at ACC.
In my spare time, I think about things like love and good writing and how they might save the world (the poet to activist/ activist to poet pipeline tho). I curate and host the Austin chapter of
@redlightlit , a performance series and small press dedicated to creative work centering love, relationships, sensuality, and gender.
This Sunday I’ll be leading a free workshop from 3-5pm at Austin Central Library where we will read and write about revolutionary love (still a couple of spots left, link in bio) before Red Light Lit Austin meets at a secret location downtown (comment ❤️and I’ll send you the coordinates) at 6 pm. With poetry by
@ryanrutkoskie (!),
@millieux (!), and yours truly, followed by an open mic.
Come hang, listen, or read, and buy a Red Light Lit Tote bag hot off the press from
@uniqueprints . All proceeds go towards
@raicestexas , a local org providing legal aid and advocacy to children and families detained in D*lley Detent*on Center.
Get in sweetie, we’re dismantling systems of injustice with poetry and love 💋
This project is supported in part by an Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment.
