Hi. I am a writer, literary translator, and teacher. I have a BA in Spanish from Westmont College, an MFA in Poetry from Bennington College, and a PhD in English from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I currently work as the Assistant Director of Composition.
My debut poetry collection Sugar Work was published by Alice James Books in 2022 and my translation of Luis Othoniel Rosa’s novel El gato en el remolino (Animal Spiral) is forthcoming from Charco Press in 2026. I like to collaborate across artistic disciplines and, for the past five years, have been especially interested in the intersecting worlds of dance and poetry in the Carribbean and the Southern United States.
I occasionally take on poetry manuscript consultations. If you are interested or want to be in touch, please reach out through email. katiemarya13@gmail.com
Fotos are mine. <3
