CQ

Cristina Querrer (CQ) is a Filipina American poet and interdisciplinary artist based in Mystic, Connecticut. She holds two MFAs in Creative Writing and Interdisciplinary Visual Arts, along with a Master’s in Library and Information Science. A U.S. Army veteran and the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and a Filipina mother, her work engages questions of memory, migration, militarism, and cultural survival through both language and material form. Her writing and visual work have appeared in Poetry Foundation, Typehouse, New Delta Review, From Whispers to Roars, and other publications and exhibitions.

Her first full-length poetry collection, By Astrolabes & Constellations, was published by Agave Press in 2019, and her second collection, Disobedient Archives: A Radical Catalog, is forthcoming from Iron Oaks Edition in Spring 2027. She also is an electronic artist, releasing music under her moniker, CQ.
