Please donate to support the work of the brave volunteers helping our immigrant community in NJ. They need money for gas, food, vests, to print flyers and to cover basic needs of families facing abduction and deportation. Anything helps. Please donate.

Un honor ser parte (entre performances de tanta gente que admiro) de esta magna celebración de los 10 años del #macenelbarrio este domingo en la Sala Sinfónica Pablo Casals! ¡No se lo pierdan!

Thrilled to be hosting the great poet & translator Kristin Dykstra (my mentor in translation) Tuesday at NYU as part of my undergraduate translation workshop at NYU. She’ll be reading from her debut poetry collection @uchicagopress.bsky.social & from her translations of Marcelo Morales & others.

In Chicago to read at UC & UIC today and tomorrow alongside some incredible folks. I took two LGA selfies for the road @alttext.bsky.social #nationalpoetrymonth #poet #translator
