AI CANNOT HAVE THE EM DASH I LOVE THE EM DASH

Still much to celebrate, yes— Enjoyed talking about poetry’s boundless potentials and heartbreaking limitations with @patrycjasara.bsky.social, author of the gorgeously searing WE CONTAIN LANDSCAPES, this week on Tightwires! @tinhouse.bsky.social youtu.be/A_Pu2SXvjL8

Thank you so much to @southwestreview.bsky.social and Sarah Booker for publishing my translation of "SOY UNA TORTUGA" (I AM A TURTLE) by Edmundo Paz Soldán. It's a tremendous honor to be a contributor to such a prestigious journal.

ICYMI: I posted the second part to my Everything Everywhere All At Once analysis last week! I have trouble finishing projects (thanks ADHD), so this is a huge deal for me. I'm hoping to keep making and posting videos like this in the future! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK4r...

My latest video is an analysis of ADHD and Generational Trauma in Everything Everywhere All At Once. This is the first part of a longer analysis, so stay posted! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTzS...

I'm back on YouTube, hope you find my latest video mildly enjoyable www.youtube.com/watch?v=h79r...

I've grown to hate the word "disrupt" in recent months, but I am nevertheless so grateful and excited to be working among so many talented, fascinating, and passionate people in #Artists360 and beyond. Our communities will save us in the end, I truly believe that. artists360.art/artists/hiba...

This past Monday, I read unpublished bilingual poems of mine at, Writers by the Lights, a reading hosted by students from my MFA program. I was nervous and excited since bilingual poetry (bilingual anything, really) is quite niche, and it was my first time putting these out there.

Since this place seems to finally be active, I wanted to share this recent interview that @hhtahir.bsky.social and I conducted with translator Cal Paule on their recent translated poetry collection of Diana Garza Islas' "Caja negra que se llame como a mi"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3wv...

Oh, are writers and translators finally moving to this app? Can i finally stop being weird on Instagram?

What I like the most about translating my own culture/language into English is realizing things about it that I had never thought twice about. It's fucking fascinating and I have no idea how to best explain it.

sometimes translation work is just figuring out if* you can fit a pun in a serious tone text which has a serious setting and serious seriousness about all of it the answer might shock you (*where)

My contributor copy for Modern Poetry in Translation's latest issue is here!

It's been a great time in Tucson. Literary translators are some of the best humans. It's humbling and grounding to be a part of such a collective. (Could ALTA just be yea-round event? I could use the non-stop geeking-out about translation, languages, diaspora, and community.)

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS #cfp: Sharing from Latin American Literature Today: Calling all translators! LALT is always open to submissions of Latin American literature in translation. This fall we’re looking for new fiction in particular. https://latinamericanliteraturetoday.org/guidelines-translators/

Sometimes I daydream about what a wonderful reality it would be had the US invested in their railway system instead of interstates/highways.

I feel like translators like coming up with analogies for translation almost as much as they like translating. If not even more.

Going with the flow I guess.
