PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AS TRANSLATOR

• 
  Last contract (2005) was the translation of 19 poems of US poets of the 50s:
  

• 
  Before this (2004) I had worked on Spanish versions of essays On Turning Eighty and The Angel is My Watermark by Henry Miller (from Capra Press, CA); On Love by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (from Harper & Row), and The Nobel Lecture on Literature (also by Harper & Row). Some of these, have been published by National University general publications department. Widely distributed and read.
  

• 
  Had finished off transcription, edition, copyediting, proofreading, presentation, and promotion of first complete versified Mexican edition of Sonnets by William Shakespeare by recently late artist and friend Fernando Marrufo (Mérida, Yucatán, México, 1925-2003)
  

• 
  The National Institute for Fine Arts (INBA) prepared (1997) a bulky anthology of French poetry which included a version of mine in Spanish of a poem by Arthur Rimbaud (L'Éternité). This piece had already seen the light through Excélsior's sunday section, El Búho; also in a poetry affiche called Undívago (1996). Likewise, a Spanish version of a poem by e.e. cummings was also published in several cultural spaces.
  

• 
  As of today, I am still preparing a selection of contemporary American poetry, a project which has been near receiving financial support by INBA and Fideicomiso USA/Mexico through their grant programs.
  

• 
  Also in process is the Spanish version of an unpublished series of poems by Ezra Pound written for Hilda Doolitle (Hilda's Book), as part of the Ezra Pound Circle; a long version called Vers Novum was published in 1996 in local journals.
  

• 
  Finally, I translated all of Lost Opposites, 1987, the entire poetic work of US late artist and writer, Bruce C. Moore (+1988 in Mexico City).
  

• 
  I have also tried poetry by John Donne, W.B. Yeats, Donald Justice, Anne Sexton, Lucille Cliftton, and Robert Creeley.
  

• 
  Will soon embark on new personal projects.
