"I use my poetry to gauge my position in the world. It allows me to reflect, conjure self awareness and watch, almost with omniscience, my relationship with others. I feel like as a poet I have a responsibility to get to know myself and be as authentic as possible. My readers are intelligent and can see through any plastic masks I hold up in my writing, so therefore I give them my true self—as well as I know it."
Ancestral Poetisa, Ysabel Y. Gonzalez
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Ancestral Poetisa's poetic diaspora. This site is about forming connections and building a triangular relationship of poet, community and ancestry. You may find many pictures of the poet, but this website is not just about Ysabel. Listen to images being crisply formed, read as the sound of words create a melody that sings to you. Most importantly, be inspired that your ancestral story is being shared.
