Sylvia Irizarry is a Chicago native currently based in Queens. She typically writes fiction and satire but is trying her hand at coping with the tug-of-war that is identity through poetry and prose. During her time at Can Serrat, she is building upon her collection of poems thematically linked by skin’s relationship with intimacy, ipseity, and politics.
Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s Internet Tendency and HUE.
