CLARA OLIVO
Clara Olivo (she/them/elle) is an Afro-Salvi poet living in diaspora. Clara weaves history and lived experience, creating transcendental poetry that amplifies ancestral power and pride. She is the author of The Whisper, The Storm and The Light in Between. In this debut collection, Clara vulnerably reveals her experience as a racialized being surviving Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) and colonization.
The Debut
This is what happens after a dream deferred explodes…
A poetic memoir of diasporic despair and delight, Clara shines light on the triumphs and traumas of healing, and growth that comes with discovering your most authentic self.
