Reina María Rodríguez (featured in the "Geometries of everything / Galiano St. Variety" and "Kitsch" entries) has influenced many aspects of my approach to translation, not least in her attention to literary community.

Translations by Urayoán Noel, like his poetry and criticism, are deeply enjoyable.  They announce the presence of a vital mind – insightful, singular and often funny.  Poems bound, spitting energy.  The best part is that even at their most frenetic, the writings emerge out of a long, patient, and illuminating investigation into cultural forms and traditions.
