Other writings
In addition to poetry and translation, I engage in other writing projects related to art, literary criticism, and adult education. Here are some of those activities.

I have done literary criticism and reviews for the revista Lectora, the revista de poesía Paraíso, the revista literaria Penúltima, Los diablos azules by Infobae, Le Monde Diplomatique in spanish and the revista de traducción Vasos Comunicantes. I was also part of the El Nieuwe Acá project, a fanzine of minor literature.
For academia, I have written about the poetic work of María Auxiliadora Álvarez and about a cardboard anthology of Cuban poetry. I have participated in art biennials and other visual exhibitions and have written about the visual artist Luciana Rago and the city of La Haya, Among other things. In the program La ficción de la maleta de discos by La Casa Encendida (Madrid) and Radio Relativa, you can hear one of my poems accompanied by Javier Otero on piano.

I have given talks at the TEA museum in Tenerife, El Almacén (Cabildo de Lanzarote) and monthly I facilitate the poetry reading workshop “El estado de la poesía” at the La Buena Vida bookstore in Madrid. In addition, I have participated in readings, moderated discussion panels on poetry in libraries and bookstores, and participated in literary events such as Letras aisladas or Verbena. With the Shodo Creativo Japanese calligraphy and painting school, I organize painting and writing workshops in nature in Candeleda (Ávila) and at the International University of Andalusia I spoke about Poetry and Translation.
