Melissa Salguero

Melissa Salguero (she/her/hers) is a Guatemalan poet who puts the SALT in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the human equivalent of red wine & crushed velvet. Melissa uses humor to create through provoking work centering on her life, relationships, and identity. She has been featured on Write About Now Poetry and Ink & Nebula. She was a member of the Westiminster 2018 & 2019 CUPSI team and was a finalist at the 2018 Utah Arts Festival Indie Slam. When not yelling about white boys or making God metaphors, Melissa can be found feeding her online shopping addiction, blasting Glora Trevi, or living up to her title as the quintessential "bitter ex girlfriend poet". Her work (along with her emotional overflow) can be found on twitter @_Miss_Marilyn.
