Their cross-discipline experiments subvert 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, and creating space to imagine a more liberated future during the collapse of the American empire.
