Benefit poem for Mindanao Earthquake relief
Inspired by the ingenuity their ancestors exemplify, Michael Oliveros (they/them/theirs) roots themselves in the rich legacies of queer refusal and Philippine resilience. As a storyteller, craftsman, and lover of myths, their work reckons with the apocalyptic, diving into the haunted trenches of memory to imagine alternative futures. You can find them running around Chicago, racing against the wind.
