Thiago GonsalezThiago Gonsalez is a queer, trans writer, educator, and lifelong learner who believes in the power of story to heal, resist, and reveal. Their poetry is shaped by the classroom, by lineage, and by chosen family. They carry many identities-teacher, chld, friend, poet-and write from the intersections of gender, grief, joy, and love.

The River That Bends is their love letter to anyone who has felt unseen-and kept going anyway. Read More Read Less
