Author Information

Born and bred in Koreatown, Los Angeles, Joseph Escobar is a writer that studied classic poetry and majored in English at UCLA. He is also known as Joethepoet online. Raised by his strong, Guatemalan grandmother, who he calls mama, she was the person that stoked his fire for literature and writing. He learned at a very young age how beautiful and cathartic it is to write his feelings down, whether joyful or sorrowful. Out of all of this, came his first poetry book, ""Dark Water, Sweet Fire,"" a collection of poems exploring the dichotomies and relationships between light and darkness, love and loss, healing and pain. A proud Angeleno, he feels most at home in Los Angeles, walking around Echo Park with his grandmother, reading and writing in local bookstores or cafes, spending quality time with his family, and hanging out with good friends wherever the wind takes them.
