Ximena José Guevara, first generation Venezuelan-American, has been writing poetry for as long as she can remember. Local to Los Angeles and currently finishing her degree in Liberal Arts And Honors in Creative Writing at The New School, she also spends her time attempting to write jokes and attempting to tell them onstage: only one of those activities is going well.

Themes in her writing often include Being, Potentiality and Joy.

She speaks five languages, prefers the desert to the beach and her favorite food is Iced Tea.
