I am delighted to be participating in the Lit & Luz festival in Chicago at the end of October with Irma Pineda. We both look forward to talking poetry, translation, and cross-border collaborations. We’ll be discussing a book that we worked on together for more than a decade: Nostalgia Doesn’t Flow Away Like Riverwater (Phoneme / Deep Vellum, 2024). Below, a photo of us at an artist residency in 2012, on an island near Seattle, at the beginning of the process for this book.
