Artist in Residence Trilingual Poetry Reading
with poet Irma Pineda

tentatively planned for a date TBA in August 2012
7:00 pm
For more than a year I've been working on translations (Spanish to English) of delicious poems by the Zapotec-Mexican-Istmeña poet Irma Pineda. I am honored that Irma will come to Seattle to record a trilingual CD of her work with me, thanks to a generous Artist Support Grant from the Jack Straw Foundation. We will end Irma's week in Seattle with a Zapotec-Spanish-English poetry reading and isthmus-style pachanga.
Please see my "teaching" page for information about the writing workshops I'll offer at writers' conferences in 2012.
