"Borderlands: The New Mestizo"

Miguel Garcia. From Detroit by way of Afro-Spanish-Mestizo Mexico. Student. Kid. Writer. Poet. Lover. Same Gender Loving. Senior studying History and Literature at Harvard College. My slightly edited words are penned to be universally affirming. These days, though, I'm heavyhearted for the children--the queer youth of color that have been continuously beaten, criminalized, made invisible, targeted for destruction, and shaken out of  the small shelters they had built. We shall rebuild together, sharing our thoughts, in our own voices, producing art for life and for each other.

"Sailing on Light"

Welcome, writers and storytellers.  As you soar through life, wings flapping furiously, may this be a little rock for you to perch upon, rest for a while and maybe find some inspiration.

Good artists borrow
Great artists steal.

"Let's Not Make a Fool of Myself"

Trying to make it in the modeling & theatre scene in Chicago. "Trying" being the key word.
