Vanesa Pacheco

Vanesa Pacheco is a Latina poet. She received her BA from Wheelock College and her MFA in Poetry at Stonecoast’s Creative Writing program. Vanesa’s fascination with languages and translation has inspired her to blend English and Spanish in all creative writing forms with her love for surrealism, horror, and sci-fi. She is also inspired by the idea of dualism and multi-layering in writing, which has led her to experiment with erasure poetry. Vanesa was the poetry editor for the literary journal Stonecoast Review and has been published in Delirious Hem; The Rain, Party, and Disaster Society; Queen Mob’s Teahouse; and Open Letters Monthly. Her first chapbook, Slippery Tongues, is out now through Winged City Chapbooks.
