Marguerite Muñoz

Marguerite Muñoz writes on the border of Berkeley & Oakland. For the past four years and under the sponsorship of Alley Cat Books and Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia, she has co-curated Voz sin Tinta, a monthly bilingual showcase and open mic that provides a safe, supportive space for emerging writers and community voices that often go unheard. Marguerite's work speaks to interconnectedness sensed through spirit, blurred boundaries between inner and outer worlds, and the nameless desires she holds as a woman surviving in today's modern world. Her poems and creative non-fiction have been featured at Get Lit, Liminal, Poems under the Dome, Jingletown Reading and Open Mic, City Limits Gallery, and the Cante Jondo Series, and she is honored to have poems published in The Haight Asbury Journal and Cipactli.
