East Meets Words / Bonnibel Fonbuena
Bonnibel Fonbuena, Filipina American performance poet, currently lives in Somerville, MA. She slowly builds up her endurance to bike up small hills by eating lots of vegetables and running after her nephews. She has performed at open mics at Nuyorican Poets Café and Bowery Poetry Club. Additonal performances include SULU series in New York City, a monthly showcase of emerging and established Asian American artists, and La Casita, an outdoor performance at Lincoln Center. In addition to poetry, Bonnibel was part of the performing ensemble of The Vagina Monologues held at The University of Texas at Austin; as well as Silk Mangos, an Asian American theater troupe. She believes that art has the power to ignite compassionate change. It’s a belief that keeps her performing with her heart, her soul, and sometimes, with a little humor.
