The PSU 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><br>
</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>Jose Antonio Villarán </b>is the author of two
books of poetry, <i>la distancia es siempre la misma</i>
(2006), <i>el cerrajero</i> (2012); one book of
cross-genre literature, <i>open pit</i> (2022); one book
of translation, <i>Album of Fences</i>, by Omar Pimienta
(2018); and is the creator of the AMLT project (<a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://amlt-elcomienzo.blogspot.pe</a>),
an exploration of hypertext literature and collective
authorship. A Spanish edition of <i>open pit</i> was
published in June 2023 by Álbum del Universo Bakterial in
Peru, and his fourth book, a work of Auto-Fiction, titled
<i>Dear Excelsior, Kiko died in Vietnam while he was
playing fútbol</i>, 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<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>
