About Ismael S Rodriguez Jr

creating poetry, short stories, and art

I’m a Puerto Rican/Filipino poet from Philadelphia and a U.S. Navy veteran who served from 1987 to 1991. Living with a mental health diagnosis, I draw strength from both lived experience and a deep, evolving spiritual practice. A spiritual rebel at heart, I fuse tradition with intuition in both my creative work and personal journey. I'm also a committed activist, advocating for the rights, dignity, and visibility of people with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and other marginalized voices.
