Their cross-discipline experiments glitch traditional poetic form to construct trans time & non-linear meaning-making.

Chosen as a finalist for the Radix 2025 Megaphone Prize, Aceves Garcia’s manuscript, TIME IS A SILLY BOY, was described as “incredibly, incredibly tender," by judge (& style icon) Safia Elhillo. You can find their poems, archival scans, & linocut experiments in The Hopkins Review, Poets.org’s “Poem-A-Day” series, The Slowdown, beestung, Peach Mag, The Best of the Net Anthology 2022, among others.

Their latest callings include bringing plant offerings to the ocean, transing the sonnet, & creating space to imagine a more liberated future during the collapse of the American empire.
