My essay was cited by Nina Siegal in the New York Times here, and by Johanna Hedva in The White Review here. It was also written up by The Poetry Foundation’s Harriet the Blog here.
You can also read my essay in Portuguese in Brazil’s Jornal Rascunho here, and in Spanish in Buenos Aires-based Revista Transas here.
