CREATIVE WRITING
a curated selection
This collection of works explores the multifaceted experiences of Julián Esteban Torres López, blending personal history with cultural and political reflections. His creative nonfiction pieces reveal formative childhood traumas, struggles with mental health, and the complexities of identity as an immigrant shaped by violence and colonialism. The poetry directly confronts themes of cultural assimilation, colonial legacies, and the search for ancestral roots, often employing vivid imagery and a raw, unfiltered voice. The fiction pieces capture moments of beauty, loss, and societal critique through character-driven narratives and surreal scenarios. These various forms combine to create a tapestry of storytelling that examines themes of personal and collective history.
