"As a writer, sometimes we discover what is important to ourselves, our culture, even humanity in general. When I write, I’m on a journey poking around memories and looking into the past while thinking about who I am now. These memories, ideas, even stories, are placed into words, language, and in doing so a little bit of magic happens; that’s how a poem ends up on a page.

Adela Najarro,
Guest Poet (Puente Fall 2020)

"Each and every student ought to know that there's nobody like you.

You are unique. 

You are singular. 

You are irreproducible.  

You’re irreducible. 

There’s only one of you in the history of the cosmos.”
