Mari Herreras
Mari Herreras is a fifth-generation Tucsonan who loves her desert city for all its good, bad and ugly. As a hobby she regularly gets pissed at the local powers-that-be. When she’s not scowling and writing poetry, she keeps her son and mom close, as well as the sad cholla in the front yard she won’t give up on. Her first book of poems, At Grande and Congress, is out July 2023 from R&R Press.
