Translation: Claudia Lars
Here’s my chapter on Claudia Lars. I found this a hard poem to translate. Though I could’t do it justice, I enjoyed trying. Vanguardist poetry is hard, in general. I think because it is built on so much symbolism from … finish reading Translation: Claudia Lars

Poetry Month: Day 2, Enriqueta Arvelo Larriva
Happy Poetry Month! Today I have been thinking about Enriqueta Arvelo Larriva, a Venezuelan poet from the 20th century (1886-1962). Her poems are small and odd, but huge internally, like a pocket universe captured and studied from all sides; a … finish reading Poetry Month: Day 2, Enriqueta Arvelo Larriva

Long poems last for a long time
Lately, poetry is all coming in floaty long phrases. It’s all endless stretching introductions full of commas. I think it’s because I’m in a beginning, and don’t have the clarity to send down a full stop sort of root into … finish reading Long poems last for a long time

List of poets in the anthology
Here’s the list of women poets that I have translated so far (some, many poems; some, only one). limitation is that they should have been publishing or writing between 1880 and 1930. I have another list of many more poets … finish reading List of poets in the anthology
Fitting and not fitting
While I was doing my research I pretty much ignored Chile and in fact I have completely ignored Gabriela Mistral because I figure everyone else has written about her already, and she’s well known. Ultimately I have to go and … finish reading Fitting and not fitting

Genre classifications and sexism
I come up against this again and again. Critical literature focuses on defining a genre, and women end up just outside that definition. So it always looks like they just miss the boat because they’re not quite good enough. Really, … finish reading Genre classifications and sexism

Anthologizing; standards of selection
I’ve been working on my anthology project for over a year. It’s of poems by Latin American women writers – well, Spanish America – and is focused on work published between 1880 and 1930. My goal is to give a … finish reading Anthologizing; standards of selection
