TIME FOR CHOCOLATE is available for purchase through One Act Play Depot! A brief description:

An intoxicating evening of music, poetry, and chocolate... in pre-conquest Mexico!
Based on a fifteenth-century dialogue among nobles schooled in rhetoric and philosophy, the play pits father against son in a war of words over the power and beauty of artistic expression.

Love and Light in Brazil

Two Poems by José Carlos Limeira

The supercool online literary magazine qarrtsiluni is featuring my translations of two poems by my friend and collaborator José Carlos Limeira. The poems, "Apagões" ("Blackouts") and "Mágica" ("Enchantment") came online today as part of the magazine's issue on Translation (January-April 2011). You can listen to José Carlos and to me as you read along here!

You can also listen to two of my colleagues, Huiwen Zhang and Victor Udwin, performing Huiwen's translations "Meditation on the Road: Chinese Wartime Sonnets by Feng Zhi."
