Boog City 10
Delighted to have three poems from The Fat Sonnets in the 10th annual Boog City anthology! 1 new one (“Philosophies of Superstition”), and 2 oldies that have been previously published. So many other amazing poets in this year’s edition, too. ❤
National Poetry Month at Boston Review
Thrilled to have two new co-translations from Luis Chaves’ Equestrian Monuments (Monumentos Ecuestres)—“Inventory” and “False Documentary”—up at Boston Review for National Poetry Month! #dreamteam #NaPoMo
#notmypresident
The editors at Heavy Feather Review asked me to write a poem responding to the election results as part of their brave and important post-election #notmypresident feature, which I was delighted to do since I had otherwise been unable to gather my words immediately following that long, terrible night in November. Check out “The Demagogue Diet,” and all the other amazing voices they have gathered to speak out against the foul and destructive rhetoric of this new presidency.
Public Pool
Three brand new #dreamteam translations of some beautiful prose poems by Luis Chaves up over at Public Pool! “Out of Water” is one of our all time favorites from Equestrian Monuments/Monumentos Ecuestres ❤
The John Frederick Nims Memorial Prize for Translation
My co-translator Julia Guez and I are so incredibly honored to have been awarded the John Frederick Nims Memorial Prize for Translation from The Poetry Foundation for our translation of Luis Chaves’s “Equestrian Monuments (A Litany)” in the October 2015 issue of POETRY!
THE FAT SONNETS
So thrilled to announce that my debut collection of poems, THE FAT SONNETS, is forthcoming from Argos Books in 2018! Very honored to be the recipient of a FACE OUT grant from CLMP for emerging writers to help this book along its way into the world.
