Daryl Gussin spent years of his life as a confused bisexual only to realize he’s actually just a heterosexual poet. In 2024 he published three different collections mining the internal, external, and the messy entanglement of the two. Jessica Mills says his voice, “rises above the dismal din and resonates with urgency, capturing moments of rebellion and reflection.” Ingrid M. Calderón called his work, “A true love story of self…that leaves the reader with a sense of wonder and an itch for more.” His focus revolves around the honest, bittersweet, and ultimately triumphant aspects of counterculture and its flavorful inhabitants. The heartbreaks, the implosions, and the defiant victories. Community over commercialism, create and destroy. Jennifer “Miss B” Baptiste is a writer living in North Hollywood, California. She was born and raised in Texas and is an American of Haitian descent. She loves creating lyrical introspective pieces that resonate with the heart and mind to promote healing, empowerment, and curiosity.

His works have been published in Conchas Y Café, Intercultural Press, Resurrection Press, No Tender Fences, Rigorous and he has been featured at several open mics throughout Los Angeles. He is currently working on his first novel.

Laura Sermeño was born in Montebello, CA, raised and educated in Sur El Monte —UCLA matriculated, educated by her people only, from the classrooms to the streets. While in her second year of studies at UCLA in 2012, she began to unfold her art of poetry by auditioning for spoken word performances.

In 2017, along with her womxn-centered writing circle, Las Lunas Locas, her poetry was published in an anthology. She never traditionally captured the art of poetry-making, instead relying on her inner beat and only the most raw inspiration with which to write.

Beautifully designed and amazing architecture both inside and outside. There was a small waiting time to get into the cathedral, but it was a very busy time of the year as it was carnival.

Very good experience, the tour guide is also very responsible and the arrangement is reasonable. The overall activity is divided into three parts: introduction to the tourist area, then arranging a cruise, and finally a VR display. We did not participate in the VR activity, but even so, we felt very happy. It is worth recommending

It was in line with expectations. Of course, Venice itself is not very big, so please manage yourself. The lion of St. Mark is still beautiful, and there are also some murals and armor on display. The effect of listening to the audio guide is average, so you still need to rely on the tour guide.
