"I am the author of the prize winning, Setting the Virgin on Fire (UC Press, 1996), and two poetry collections, Body Bach (2005) and Piano Glass/Glass Piano (2010), both from Tebot Bach Press. I hold a Yale doctorate, and am associate professor of Latin American History and English at USC. I have received multiple awards including a Faculty Fulbright Research Fellowship for Mexico. I was honored as a runner-up in the Second Beyond Baroque Poetry Contest; my poems have also been published in Runes, Askew, Beyond the Lyric Moment, Desde Hong Kong: Poets in Conversation with Octavio Paz, Angle of Reflection, and in many other journals and anthologies. Currently, I am working on both a new poetry manuscript and a new historical monograph entitled Dancing on the Sun Stone: an Exploration of Mexican Women and the Gendered Politics of Octavio Paz."
