ABOUT CAROLINA ABREU
Carolina Abreu is a Dominican writer based in New York. She began her literary journey in 2002 after immigrating to the United States. Her work has appeared in HBO’s The Inspiration Room and in publications including LNNY Blog, HPalabritas, the Dominican Writers Association, and The Ice Colony. She is deeply committed to community and collaboration, which led her to create the Hudson Valley Arts Collective, a community-centered initiative dedicated to amplifying local voices and fostering creative connection through poetry and the arts. Her debut self-published poetry collection, Speak English, You’re in America, explores the complexities of belonging through childhood, family, trauma, relationships, and self-discovery, ultimately asserting that belonging is a choice she claims for herself.
