Poetry Publications

*A brief note for publications in English: I do not publish English-only work. If you wish to publish my poems the Spanish version must be included. The poems in English are self-translations and therefore do not and cannot replace the work in Spanish. The impulse and urge to assimilate all contexts and languages into English is a form of linguistic colonialism and puts writers working with any other language in the difficult position of sacrificing a part of themselves for the comfort of editors or publishers. We deserve better. At this time, I do not provide pro bono services outside of Puerto Rico.
