Anthony Guerra-Flores (He/Him) is a UNC undergraduate double major in Journalism and Media and English and Comparative Literature for Creative Writing with a minor in Latina/o Studies. He is a poetry editor for UNC’s Literary Magazine, Cellar Door, and Ebony Readers Onxy Theatre (EROT) at UNC. He is also a performer of spoken word poetry. Anthony has poetry published in Literary Magazine West Trade Review, Cellar Door, and The Daily Tar Heel. For him, poetry was a craft that was always present through the historias y dichos his mother and father would tell him. Much of it was about their early life in El Salvador and their diasporic experience as immigrants in the United States. From it, came the poetry he’s known all his life. Through his work he allows his readers to witness events and retells personal memories to relate to the broader Latinx community. Anthony hopes to continue his work as a poet and is grateful for the many professors and scholars’ part of the Latina/o Studies Program.
