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.

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.
