Marcelia Sumiko is a 16-year-old biracial queer poet currently attending Tacoma School of the Arts as a creative writing major. Her words appear in We Need A Reckoning (Blue Cactus Press) and are on the editorial board of Write253’s Literary Magazine, “Disclaimer”. In her spare time, she enjoys costuming shows at Lakewood Playhouse and running a small dressmaking business on Instagram (Sumiko_Vintage). Marcelia’s work was also recently displayed in the Tacoma Light Trail, on the Pierce Archway. As a forever learning poet, she looks forward to appreciating and creating as many forms of poetry as she can.
