Cultivated by the sun and moon, peeking past the shoes dangling from the phone lines, Rebecca Gonzales was raised and resides “one block East of El Pino” in (East) el Pueblo de Nuesta senora la Reina de Los Angeles. Rebecca’s work has been published in various literary anthologies and journals such as Issue 1 of Dryland Lit, Brooklyn and Boyle, Inchas de Poesia, the Mas Tequila Review, issues 3, 5 & 8 of San Antonios St. Sucia, Connotation Press, Literature for Life and others. She was the March 2014 winner of “The Poets of New York” series at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. She is the creator and curator of the series “Fails in Sexlandia,” a monthly dose of our foibles in love lust and beyond. You can find her work on Instaram at @ladydrug. As a mother she is humbled, as a poet she is obedient, and as a woman she is unapologetic.
