José Sánchez - I grew up in Weslaco, TX in the 1960s. When I was 13, I began writing poetry. Later that year, I began playing guitar. Around the time that I began performing professionally, at 30, all the poems became songs. A few years later, I founded a band, I Ching Gatos, to perform my songs, which we still do to this day. My college degree from Harvard University is in Folklore and Mythology A career as an elementary teacher followed, as well as a Master’s Degree in Education from Our Lady of the Lake University. Now, I live on South Padre Island. My wife, Lucinda Wierenga (Sandy Feet) invented Sand Castle Lessons, and so I am an Sand Castle instructor. With her, I am also an inn-keeper. We live the artist’s life with seven dogs and two cats. The band plays on. The Border Arts: Beyond the Barriers is LIVE and available for purchase. (CLICK HERE for a short sample of what's inside.)

Ana Fores Tamayo: Being an academic not paid enough for my trouble, I wanted instead to do something that mattered: work with asylum seekers. I advocate for marginalized refugee families from Mexico, Central America, and now, many other countries from which people are being uprooted. Working with asylum seekers is heart wrenching yet satisfying. It is also quite humbling. My labor has eased my own sense of displacement, being a child refugee, always trying to find home. In parallel, poetry is my escape: I have published in The Raving Press, Indolent Books, the Laurel Review, Shenandoah, and many other anthologies and journals, both in the US and internationally, online and in-print. My poetry in translation with its accompanying photography has been featured in art fairs and galleries as well. Peregrina, only in Spanish, was just published by Ediciones Valparaiso this June 2022. I hope you like my art; it is a catharsis from the cruelty yet ecstasy of my work. Through it, I keep tilting at windmills. The Border Arts: Beyond the Barriers is LIVE and available for purchase.
