Ana Fores-Tamayo

Being an academic not paid enough for her trouble, Ana Fores-Tamayo wanted instead to do something that mattered: work with asylum seekers. She advocates for marginalized refugee families from Mexico and Central America. Working with asylum seekers is heart wrenching, yet satisfying. In parallel, poetry is her escape. Her work appears in the Raving Press, the Laurel Review, Indolent Books, and many other anthologies and journals, both online and in print. Her poetry in translation and photography have been featured at home and internationally. Through poetry, she keeps tilting at windmills.
