Aline mello

Aline Mello’s debut book of poetry MORE SALT THAN DIAMOND is out now from Andrews McMeel.

She was born in Brazil and emigrated with her family as a child in 1997. Her work often centers on themes of identity, religion, the body, family, and the experience of the self living in diaspora. Her immigrant and undocumented identity have influenced her writing and her art. She is an Undocupoet fellow, a graduate fellow at The Ohio State University’s MFA in Creative Writing program.
