Margarita Cortés Biography

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and moved to Massachusetts at an early age of 8. I didn't learn to speak English until I was a teenager and even then it was pretty awful. I was riddled with anxiety due to being in a foreign place where I didn't speak the language and that is when I started writing. What started as emotions and feelings, later turned into poetry. I would go to my journal and write down how much I missed home or how different it was being here in the United States. As I grew older I fell in love, and later had my heart broken... I even broke some hearts along the way and I found a greater passion for writing down about those events, those feelings. Now I find it to be part of my life. I can't go without jotting down every emotion, betrayal, passionate moment! This is my art I welcome constructive critique and appreciate the time you take reading my art.
