Karen Miranda Augustine, First Runner-Up of the first 360 Xochi Quetzal BIPOC Residency in Writing
Canadian writer and mixed-media artist Karen Miranda Augustine was our first Runner-Up in Writing. Her coming-of-age manuscript was gripping and her writing includes poetry, spoken-word, and video. Karen is of Dominican and Kalinago Indian descent and her work has been published in numerous books and publications in the US and Canada.
