<div>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. </div>

</div>
<div>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 <a

<div><b>Giancarlo Huapaya</b> (Lima, Peru) is an editor,
writer, curator, and educational facilitator. His latest
book, <i>[gamerover]</i>, 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.</div>
