Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo

Resides:
Los Angeles, CA

Program:
MFA in Creative Writing '09

"The 10-day residencies in the MFA program are a model for what you’ll experience for your whole life as a writer. You’ll go to different conferences, you’ll go to different writing workshops. This last summer I spent a week in New Mexico at Las Dos Brujas Writers' Workshop. The on-campus residencies prepared me so I knew exactly what to expect and how to make the most of it... The mentor relationship at Antioch University was really important to me because I got to work one-on-one with poets who are published."

Xochitl-Julisa is the Literary Curator for Beyond Baroque Literary/Arts Center. Her work has been published in The Los Angeles Review, PALABRA, and The Umbrella Journal, and she was nominated for a 2009 Puschard Award. Xochitl-Julisa’s interests include traveling, Frida Kahlo, and Los Angeles history.
