In what is a short list, the CUNY Graduate Center is shining a light on our own Professor Vanessa Pérez-Rosario this month in their article “Poets and Scholars to Know This Poetry Month.” Professor Pérez-Rosario is working on the first comprehensive bilingual, English-Spanish collection of the poetry, essays, and letters of writer and activist Julia de Burgos, for which she has been awarded a research grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Congratulations to Vanessa! And please read the full article on the Graduate Center’s News page to learn more about her translation project:
