Sarah Monroy Solís

Sarah Monroy Solís (Xicana and Mayan Kaqchikel descendant) grew up in the desert borderlands of Imperial Valley (Kumeyaay/Cocopah Territory). She feels deeply connected to the desert and her ancestral homelands in Sacatepequez, Guatemala, and Veracruz, Mexico. Sarah uses several artistic mediums, including writing, music, fiber arts, and (soon) large woodblock prints thanks to her acceptance into an art program by Big Ink. Sarah is a contributing creator/writer at Ofrenda Magazine (ofrendamagazine.com). When she's not working with fibers, she can be found writing about deserts, space, and time travel. Follow her writing on Instagram: @sarisolis, or for her fiber work: @thefogknitter.

—Recuerda no llamarme tío —dice el tío de la mentirosa mientras ambos bajan del autobús, hacia el camino polvoriento que conduce al autocine.

“Remember not to call me uncle,” says the liar’s uncle as they both step off the bus, onto the dusty road leading into the drive-in.
