  <about><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Grew up in Colombia, South America, in a family of myopic bookworms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently completing a manuscript of poems set in Colombia. This summer I had the privilege of receiving critique on it from the fantastic poet Martín Espada &amp; four wonderful poet-classmates, &amp; now I'm in a juicy, satisfying time of making revisions &amp; writing new poems to complete the set.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bread &amp; butter work: editor at a university press. Perfect work for a hopelessly word-obsessed person.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Social justice work: currently focused on opposing &quot;free trade&quot; agreements between Colombia &amp; rich northern countries, as they are set up to strengthen &amp; deepen socioeconomic inequalities. Not to mention wreaking serious environmental harm, encroaching on national sovereignty, &amp; doing other nasty things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Codirector of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.acrosstheamericas.org&quot;&gt;Across the Americas.&lt;/a&gt;]]></about>
