Cristina Querrer: “I was born and raised in the Philippines, post-Vietnam War, during the Marcos regime, pre-Mount Pinatubo eruption, as a (US Air Force) military child. I graduated high school from former Wagner High School, Clark Air Force Base, Philippines, in 1985. I have two published books of poetry, By Astrolabes & Constellations and The Art of Exporting. I am a U.S. Army veteran, have an MFA in Creative Writing, and am a writer, artist, and podcaster. I received an honorarium as an invited reader and panelist to the 'Isang Mundo: Humanity, Diversity, and Resistance in the Arts' at the 5th Filipino-American International Bookfest held in San Francisco, October 2019 and received a Literary Champion Award to attend the 2020 Muse & the Marketplace Literary Conference held in Boston in April 2020 which was held online due to COVID-19.
