In our thirty-fourth issue, we highlight a writer whose work tests the limits between the poem and the essay, and between literature and linguistics: Peru’s Mario Montalbetti, with a cover dossier guest-edited by Victor Vimos and featuring visual art by Luis Verdejo. This issue’s second dossier, curated by Micaela Paredes Barraza, is dedicated to the legacy of beloved, genre-spanning Chilean artist Violeta Parra, in celebration of the publication of her first-ever English-language biography, Thanks to Life by Ericka Verba. This issue also features reflections on renowned Venezuelan poet Juan Sánchez Peláez as a translator from the French alongside a selection of translations from his personal archives, as well as interviews with Camila Sosa Villada, Irene Vallejo, and Margarita García Robayo, collaborations with our friends at Letras Libres and Hablemos, escritoras, poetry from Brazil, visual writing translated from the Quechua, and previews of new books in translation from Néstor Ponce, Amara Moira, and Anna Lidia Vega Serova.
