Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Urayo n Noel's plurilingual, polyphonic, & polymorphous text works are images are performance scores are records of poetry actions are homophonic translations are poems are homages to some of Latin America and the Caribbean's greatest innovators.

Ditto for the specter of English in the Spanish lines. The only expansionism here pertains to the field of poetry, and we're all the luckier for it--M nica de la Torre.
