*Bookmaking Workshop Tuesday, January 23 | 1pm | La Casa Latina Student 
Center, Smith 228*

The Program in Creative Writing is pleased to announce a reading by Jose 
Antonio Villarán and Giancarlo Huapaya. Huapaya will also conduct a 
workshop in bookmaking. (More information on the workshop below.) Both 
events are free and open to the public. Villarán and Huapaya's visit is 
cosponsored by the Department of World Languages and Literatures and La 
Casa Latina Student Center.

The workshop will provide a hands-on experience in which community 
members participate in production, develop connections to the poetry, 
and widen their horizons of poetry and culture. Participants learn 
techniques to hand sew and bind pages, marble endpapers, linocut print, 
and create book covers from recycled cardboard. Documentation from prior 
workshops can be found here <https://cardboardhousepress.org/Cartonera>.

*Jose Antonio Villarán *is the author of two books of poetry, /la 
distancia es siempre la misma/ (2006), /el cerrajero/ (2012); one book 
of cross-genre literature, /open pit/ (2022); one book of translation, 
/Album of Fences/, by Omar Pimienta (2018); and is the creator of the 
AMLT project (http://amlt-elcomienzo.blogspot.pe), an exploration of 
hypertext literature and collective authorship. A Spanish edition of 
/open pit/ was published in June 2023 by Álbum del Universo Bakterial in 
Peru, and his fourth book, a work of Auto-Fiction, titled /Dear 
Excelsior, Kiko died in Vietnam while he was playing fútbol/, is 
forthcoming from the same press in 2025. He holds an MFA in Writing from 
the University of California San Diego, and a PhD in Literature from the 
University of California Santa Cruz.

*Giancarlo Huapaya* (Lima, Peru) is an editor, writer, curator, and 
educational facilitator. His latest book, /[gamerover]/, is a counter 
mapping in poetry of a neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona which puts in 
tension history, language, and landscape to reveal trajectories of 
violence and white supremacy. Huapaya’s practices focus on the archive, 
critical cartography, language justice and in the dialogues between 
poetry and the visual arts. He is the Editorial Director of Cardboard 
House Press, a project dedicated to the publication of Latin American 
literature in translation to English and the creation of bilingual 
spaces in the United States. As a curator of poetics, he has presented 
exhibitions at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in San 
Francisco, the University of Arizona Poetry Center in Tucson and the 
Institute of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. As literary translator, he 
has translated into Spanish work by Muriel Rukeyser, C.D Wright, Susan 
Briante, Carmen Giménez Smith, Zêdan Xelef, among others.
