Crossroads somewhere between Peru and the Web
I have added three of Julio Ortega's poems to my body of translations. I had been holding off on adding him because I had stored his manuscript separately from the others. Actually, Julio is closer to me than any other of my collaborators, at least physically. He teaches at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. He's got a webpage.
I thrive when exploring new realms of knowledge and experience.
La Esquina del Movimiento (roughly meaning Street Buzz or, literally, the Corner of Movement) is just outside the University Rector's Office on the main square of Ayacucho, or Huamanga to those who love it best. It got that name because it's where the students, professors and pueblerinos gathered to read the Lima newspapers, talk politics and taste life. It was the epicenter of Huamanga's vitality before the violence of the '80s and early '90s ravaged the town. Now Huamanguinos, Peruvians and Peruvians at heart are scattered around the world so this page -- and website -- tries to imitate that magic.
My Peruvian News Media page has links to Peruvian online sources, or try La Lista.
