What are you working on? : poet and translator Liz Henry

Just posted in my continuing series of interviews with writers about their works in progress, poet and rebel translator Liz Henry, who in addition to her main work on 20th C. Latin American poets:

The other thing I'm doing, I guess, that's new: "Bother to refute patriarchy." There's naming the problem, right? Then, sort of proving that patriarchy exists and finding annoying examples of it. Then kicking its ass point by point. Then building feminist alternate canons, i.e. doing something positive, and coming up with new vision, new theories, etc. as a critic.

Rocks, she does.

See all the interviews here.
