Benjamin Garcia
Benjamin Garcia’s first collection of poems, Thrown in the Throat, was selected for the 2019 National Poetry Series by Kazim Ali. He currently works as a sexual health and harm reduction educator in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
Thrown in the Throat is a sex-positive incantation that retextures what it is to write a queer life amidst troubled times.
