September's Featured Poet is

Aries Franklin Ortiz

Aries Franklin Ortiz is a National Slam Poet and writer from Reading, PA. 

She started her journey as a Poet in 2005 at West Chester University. She’s had multiple articles published in various newspapers and magazines across the country and currently writes for The Drum newspaper. Her stage name “Smiley” is most accurate description of Aries, because when you meet her or when she’s on stage, that’s what she’s always doing! After a short hiatus, in the beginning of 2023, Aries dove back onto the poetry scene and hasn’t stopped since. Currently she’s working on her first published book of Poems and short stories, you can expect this before the end of the year. (and just in case you’re wondering, she’s a Virgo.).
