Carlos Egaña (Caracas, 1995) recently finished his MFA in Creative Writing in Spanish at New York University. He has also taught courses on Gender Studies and Modern North American Fiction at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello. He has three books in print: a novel titled Reggaetón (Ediciones Punto Cero, 2022) and two poetry collections, hacer daño(Oscar Todtmann Editores, 2020) and Los Palos Grandes (dcir ediciones, 2017). And he has published poems and articles on art, politics, and pop culture in various Venezuelan and North American publications. He is particularly proud of a narrative essay of his titled Ya solo queda cruzar con cuidado, which details his struggles with bipolar disorder in a progressively lonelier Venezuela.
