My new book EMERGENCY from @UChicagoPress is now in the world. Many thanks to all involved who helped to bring it out. And much gratitude to future readers who will crack it open and find something inside.
With many thanks to @philtalkradio for putting together this episode w/me on the Indigenous, Colonial, and Contemporary contexts of the Popol Vuh and Mesoamerican philosophy. The conversation was excellent but the quality of the episode is truly superb. @UChicagoPress

American poetries are already shifting. What are now "internal" poetic affairs, will be exteriorized; what are now "external" matters, will be interiorized. The flow to and fro will be made sensible, even sensual. Many current luminaries will be read as the border guards of yore.

I’ve been off Twitter a long time but it heartens me to come and see my WIP adaptation of the 16c Cantares Mexicanos heartily embraced. Thanks @StevenRoiphe. These Cantares were honored to have a feature in @TheAmScho in their Winter issue with a stellar intro by Langdon Hammer.
A terrific piece from @TheAmScho, featuring @edgaresque's fearless translation/adaptation of indigenous literature. theamericanscholar.org/from-…

The interview by @edgaresque is excellent. @jlmoct3zuma really digs into his poetics over the span of his three books.
