Rhi Johnson

Rhi Johnson is a PhD candidate at UNC Chapel Hill, working on transatlantic Hispanic nineteenth-century literature. Her research centers images of water in literary representations of femininity, seeking the universals that lurk below the century’s surface, using narrative verse and poetic prose to access social imaginaries of medicine, morbidity, sexuality, and gender. This study of the delicacies of literature informs her endeavors in poetry, translation, and playwriting. She has published translations from Galician, Galego-Português, and Spanish.
