Isabel Quintero is a writer, poet, teacher, wife, friend, sister, daughter, granddaughter, aunt niece, and a bunch of other things. She lives in the Inland Empire, where she was born and raised by Mexican immigrant parents and Mexican immigrant granddparents; the hospital where she was born in was converted to a Lowe's hardware store. That's how long ago she was born.

She learned to love reading and the written word from a very young age when her mother used to read to her Amelia Bedelia.

Quotes by Isabel Quintero (?)

“Poetry helps heal wounds.
Makes them tangible.

At the poetry reading I read

A prophecy I wrote down.
Almost couldn't go through with it.

But it came out
hurried and hot
and by the end
my tongue was on fire.”

“Why is every mom's concern about sex? There are more important things in life, like school, careers, poetry, books, ice cream, or learning how to make the perfect chocolate cake. It's so damn frustrating.”
