Marisol’s work has been published in SPFLit Magazine, Narrative Northeast, Riverlit, Shadowed: An Anthology of Women Writers, The Acentos Review, and many others. She was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and grew up around generations of family in an old adobe house. Her family later settled in Fresno, California. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Cornell University and won the Robert Chasen poetry award for her poem, Revelato. Currently, Marisol is an English professor at Fresno City College, and lives with her husband in a house in the center of town. She continues to write and teach, and is busy working on her second book.

lyrics

From the Liner Notes:

That band [Boone, VonBerg, Olvera, Guzman, Juarez] lays on “Spiral,” by Fresno Poet Laureate Marisol Baca where music and words are even more intertwined in sound and space. (“Three spirals bound / to one another / three sisters / at the edge of a stone / what is the cosmos but a radial movement outward? / to touch the fabric of one / to see the astral projection of the other/ to forget for one moment / that it is only a projection...”)
