This month’s feature poet is Jerwin Gabriel Santiago. He is a poet, comedian, and really nice friend based in Chicago. He’ll make you smile, he’ll make you laugh, and above all he’ll surprise you with how many times he can mention falling in love with boring white guys. He regularly performs solo material like poems, stand-up, and songs around Chicago and you can see him performing regularly with his improv team Three Straight Dudes. His online presence is almost as gorgeous as, if not more than, his regular presence so please follow him @jerwin_gabriel on Twitter and @jerwingabrielsantiago on Instagram because he really needs this.
