My translation of Hélio Oiticica’s Secret Poetics is available for preorder from DAP now and will be published by Soberscove Press and Winter Editions in October 2023. Find more of my translations in The Iowa Review, ecopoesia.com, Jukub, and Bailliwik, or read an interview with me about teaching translation.
