In a starred review, Publisher’s Weekly calls the collection “a superb examination of the ethical issues facing artists who tell others’ stories” and a “dazzlingly inventive and searching text.” She directs the University of Arizona’s Southwest Field Studies in Writing Program bringing students to the US-Mexico border to collaborate with community partners. Her most recent book 13 Questions for the Next Economy: New and Selected Works was a finalist for the CLMP’s Firecracker Award in Poetry.
Rosa Boshier González’s essays, fiction, and criticism have appeared in publications including Guernica, BOMB, The Brooklyn Rail, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Washington Post. She is the recipient of an Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant as well as scholarships and fellowships from Fulbright, Sewanee Writers Conference, and Vermont Studio Center. She teaches creative writing at Rice University.
Roberto Tejada is the author of the poetry collections Carbonate of Copper (Fordham, 2025), Why the Assembly Disbanded (Fordham, 2022), and Exposition Park (Wesleyan, 2010), among others. He writes art and media histories that include Along the Diagonal: Art / Essays / América (Fordham, 2026). Awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship (2021), he teaches Creative Writing and Art History as the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished Professor at the University of Houston.
