Raquel Pons (1993, Madrid) studied journalism, audiovisual communication, and marketing. She holds a Master’s degree in Narrative from the Escuela de Escritores. Her writing explores the language of trauma, cruelty, family, power dynamics, violence, and desire.
She is featured in the feminist publisher Ménades’ anthologies Relatos Nada Sexis (2020) and Relatos Nada Clásicos (2021), and has published fiction and essays in magazines such as Invernadero, Rio Grande Review, Fábula, Altavoz Cultural, and Literariedad.
In 2022, she was invited by the collective Másquepalabras to Caravana de poetas, a project bridging the oral tradition of the rural world and contemporary literature. That same year, she was selected for the first literary residency of Bajo Teja (Ávila), where she explored the narrative of the inhospitable and its connection to place. In 2023, she returned to the residency as a workshop facilitator, leading a course on rural horror and eco-horror, now a regular course at the Escuela de Escritores.
She is currently researching orality and the inability to communicate, working with subtext and asymmetry through linguistic innovation and hybridity.
Raquel will be in residence during the month of September 2025.
