I am a writer and experiential educator interested in place-based practices.
POST BOND is my current project of historical research and documentary poetry based in one square mile in El Paso, TX. My research is supported by the Huntington Library, the Mellon-funded Visualizing Abolition Dissertation Workshop, the Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative, and the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History.
I publish literary translations, essays and poetry. My commentary in Jacket2, Architectures of Disappearance, features poetry that responds with geographical approaches to physical and linguistic architectures of movement constriction. I am part of the leadership of Cardboard House Press and des/centro de poesÃa.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in History at Harvard and currently based in Providence, RI.
