My poem, "Babylon's Daughter" is in the new issue of Mount Carmel Magazine. The issue is dedicated to St. John of the Cross, and my poem is a riff on John's riff of Psalm 137 💙 St. John's mentor was my girl, St. Teresa of Ávila. @carmelitespirit.bsky.social

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance... To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple."

“I think I existed for a great amount of time in my life in a mode of silence, to the extent that I even convinced myself that silence was a form of protest,” Tran admitted. “But I’m 57, and I don’t want to do that anymore. I want to live. I want to exist.”—Truong Tran

Gotta get this anthology—and yes do find your way back to poetry @coastalpoet.bsky.social ❤️ September and October are always super-busy months and it’s easy to get swept up in all the activity and to skip introspection. Saying this for myself, too.

Friends, I have a new translation coming out in 2027 from El Martillo Press and let’s just say it’s a 180 from my St. Teresa book.💙📚

Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582), painted by Rubens. Teresa wears the brown and white nun’s habit of her Carmelite Order. She writes with a quill in a bound notebook, as befits one of the great stylists and literary genre-busters in history. I translated Teresa’s poetry and wrote essays about her in my book, Sweet Hunter, published by Monkfish in 2024. https://indiepubs.com/products/sweet-hunter-9781958972496Black, red, and white abstract image for Speculari, a recording of sound poetry by contemporary Mexican poet Rocío Cerón. The sound album became Cerón’s book, Áurica Speculari, which I have translated from Spanish to English. Forthcoming in 2027 from El Martillo Press.

Decided to check out Duolingo. What exactly is the point of this app locking people out of more learning until they pass a quiz? Like, what theory of language pedagogy is THAT?
