  <about><![CDATA[<p>Grew up in Colombia, South America, in a family of myopic bookworms.</p><br/><p>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.</p><br/><p>Bread &amp; butter work: editor at a university press. Perfect work for a hopelessly word-obsessed person.</p><br/><p>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.</p><br/><p>Codirector of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.acrosstheamericas.org">Across the Americas.</a></p>]]></about>

    <![CDATA[Each poem in Ruth Goring's debut collection opens a door into undiscovered countries: urgent rivers, wordless giants, soul-stirring music, fathers never known, voices that beckon and fade. Here are sorrow and sweetness, heartbreak and hope. The mundane is here, and also the numinous. At times they switch places. And in the strangeness of these landscapes the familiar is revisioned.]]>
