It has featured more than 119 nationally known writers and poets, including Joyce Carol Oates, Gwendolyn Brooks, Haki Madhubuti, Jane Hamilton, Catherine Ryan Hyde, Andrew Greeley and Brad Meltze.

Guerrero is the author of the book, “Tree of Sighs,” the story of a young woman's journey to uncover her past as she straddles two cultures in the search for her own identity.
