Gina's poetry has appeared in the University of Maryland's literary magazine 'Stylus,' Northern University's literary magazine 'Polaris,' as well as the online publication 'Palette Poetry.' Her writing primarily explores the function of memory in our lives; how memories shape relationships, experiences, the ways we view our families, and of course: the ways in which we pass down stories. Gina is a Puerto Rican New Yorker (AKA Nuyorican) who is still working on her Spanish. She loves coffee, ribs and the color yellow.
