Jen Hofer is an exemplary multi-tasker. While finishing work on her translation of Dolores Dorantes’ eponymous book-length poem, due out from Kenning Editions in 2013, she joined Mexican poet Javier Sicilia’s Caravan for Peace as interpreter and eventually appeared on Democracy Now! Here she is interpreting for Sicilia in conversation with Amy Goodman.
Meanwhile, Dorantes has founded in Los Angeles Proyecto Sur, dedicated to creating space for people in exile to write and document their own stories.
