Next on the Get To Know Me Podcast, we’re welcoming back a beloved returning guest—but this time, it’s not about beats, horror flicks, or mic checks. Gaby “7 Octoberz” Moreno (@7octoberz) joins us to celebrate a huge milestone: she’s officially a published author! 🎉📚
Her self-published debut, The Anxious Poeta, is a heartfelt Spanglish collection of poems and songs that explores the depths of life, loss, mental health, and the power of creative storytelling. Released on March 21, 2025—World Poetry Day, this book is more than just pages; it’s an odyssey through emotion and expression.
We dive into standout pieces like “Indie,” a powerful poem dedicated to the legendary lyricist and beautiful soul, Chino XL. Gaby reflects on the impact he had on her life and how much it meant that he heard and appreciated the poem before his passing. “He was one of one,” she shares, honoring his authenticity and support.
We also talk about her book release celebration at the Chicano Park Museum, part of the Somos Xicanas Anthology Book Tour, and how it felt to read her poetry live. Gaby gets vulnerable with us about mental health and the role of art as an outlet and escape.
She even treats us to a few live poem readings during the episode—trust us, you don’t want to miss this!
The Anxious Poeta is available for in-person pickup if in San Diego, CA or through Amazon link. Support independent authors and get your hands on this beautiful collection!
