In these dark times, I’m so glad that this love is blinding

Alejandra Hernández,
Editor
Woman first, mother second has been the driving force behind many of Alejandra’s decisions over the past fifteen years, including the decision to answer a somewhat elusive calling through poetry.
Alejandra is from San Diego and has no aspirations to leave; San Diego is too beautiful.
She considers her cousins her best friends. Nothing matters without them. Without them there is no love, no poetry.
