​I'm a Puerto Rican writer and translator of poetry, plays, screenplays, musical theatre books, and opera librettos.

Inaugural Emerging Poet Laureate of Allegheny County (2020), I am the recipient of a Puffin Grant (2018), and a finalist for Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Screenwriting Grant (2021) and City Theatre Miami National Short Play Award (2020). I have produced and developed plays, musicals, and operas with various companies, including Project Y Theatre Company, Theatre Now New York, Poetic Theater Productions, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, and White Snake Projects. My poetry and translations appear in Film Poetry Live, Bridge: The Bluffton University Journal, Persephone's Daughters, and Sampsonia Way Magazine. A writer and director, my videopoems have been screened in Spain, Germany, Denmark, and Puerto Rico, among other countries.

I am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon School of Drama’s Dramatic Writing MFA, and a member of Dramatists' Guild and New Play Exchange.

I am now available for writing commissions, feedback consultations, writing workshops, and artist talks. You can learn more about me, my work, and my creative services on my website: www.pasierra.com
