Alejandro Villa Vásquez

He/Him | Writer and Poet | New York City, NY, United States

I have a degree in English and Creative Writing from NYU and live in Brooklyn. I run a blog where I delve into geopolitics, dating, and whatever else fancies me. I've also published critical reviews of the Queer as Folk reboot in The Daily Beast and of Encanto in FilmDaze, and have bylines in The Greene Street Review, Washington Square News, NYU Gallatin's Confluence, Mildew Magazine (print), Latino Book Review, and elsewhere.
