Thrilled that BOTH AWP panels I am participating in have been accepted for the 2020 San Antonio conference! I will be moderating "Translating the Untranslatable: A Reading of International Experimental Poetry" with Marc Vincenz, Helene Cardona, Jennifer Kwon Dobbs, and Michele Gil-Montero. I will be a panelist on moderator Olga Livshin's "What Kind of Times Are These? Immigrant Poets and the New Politics of Resistance" with Valzhyna Mort, Anna Halberstadt, and Mariya Deykute. See you in San Antonio!!!!

Fascism in the U.S.

When someone says that the president “dog whistled” to his white suprematist and Nazi followers, meaning that his racist or Nazi references went above the head of regular people, I am often surprised, because I get them. Like when Breitbart megadonor Robert Mercer called Steve Bannon “the Leni Riefenstahl of our movement.” Some are in-jokes, like “100 percent” (for “100 percent white”), but others are direct references to Nazi history (Bannon spouts the same bullshit esoterica that Hitler’s “intellectuals” did). But they are usually obvious: saying the “sex” in employment nondiscrimination doesn’t include gays, attacking transgender service people, dramatically stepping up deportations, and today, trying to end affirmative action and limit immigration to those “who speak English.” How many Muslims does 45 have to beat up (the Gold Star family, mayor of London, travel ban victims), how many encroachments must we endure before we all acknowledge that our president is actively seeking a fascist white supremacist agenda?
