Made up that @englishpen.bsky.social included Anima Fatua in its list of recommendations for International Translation Day! You can get hold of all the recommended books via their page on @bookshop.org

For #ITD2025 you could do worse than the three new mask-poems by Xaime Martínez, translated from Asturian and available to read at Versopolis, along with several more from his weird and wonderful poetry collection/detective novel Cuerpos perdidos en las morgues

#BisexualVisibilityDay seems like a good day to celebrate poet, Gramsci-translator, folk archivist, and bisexual Scottish red Hamish Henderson 🩷💜💙

Had a great time at @desperatelit.bsky.social recommending some books I feel share a kinship with Anna Lidia Vega Serova's Anima Fatua (albeit a kinship of the weird/inscrutable sort that maybe only exists in my mind, but surely that's the best kind anyway...)

If you're knocking about in London tomorrow, there'll be signed copies of Anna Lidia Vega Serova's Anima Fatua on sale at the Pushkin House Bookshop stand, and a load of other brilliant bookshops and publishers at the Multicultural Book Fair at Conway Hall

If you pop into Good Press in Glasgow this summer, or order a book from them online, you will also get a free copy of the summer issue of their beautifully designed little newsletter, The Paper, which has two little poems of mine in it!

This is an English translation of one of Xuan Bello's poems, also titled Paniceiros, after his hometown, translated by fellow Asturian poets Laura Marcos and Daniel García Granda

Mañana, Xixón! @semananegra.bsky.social

Gente de Madrid! This Friday at 8pm I'll be at @desperatelit.bsky.social talking to Anna Lidia Vega Serova, who is over from Havana to celebrate the publication of the English translation of her novel Anima Fatua

Publication day (!!!) for Anna Lidia Vega Serova's Anima Fatua, and a sighting in the wild at Liverpool's legendary News From Nowhere! And in great company, beside
@wowfest.bsky.social's Walton Rising

Well this is all very exciting...

Made up that my translation of Anima Fatua by Anna Lidia Vega Serova featured in Leo Boix's brilliant Letters from Latin America column today in @mstaronline.bsky.social, and in such brilliant company. The book comes out in the UK on 12th June!

Hilariously, Ange Mlinko also published a poem featuring worms and vector-transmitted pathogens (and robins!) in the new issue of the LRB www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

For the new issue of Asymptote, I turned Machado's 'El hospicio' into a weird poem about a parasitic worm www.asymptotejournal.com/special-feat...
