My journey as a poet led me into translations of poetry and prose from Spanish to English. With a childhood familiarity with the Spanish language, Latino roots (Colombia), and deep interest in Latin American culture, I came to embrace the labor-intensive process of translating. Bridging the cultural divide between the two languages is full of discovery, as meaning emerges demanding to be sculpted into clear English with the spirit, rhythm, and intention of the original poem.
