Poetry with Paul Muldoon
I have taught English and Comparative Literature at Columbia, Yale, Vassar, NYU and Barnard. In 2015, I published Poetry and Politics of Decolonization: Tagore, Yeats, Senghor, Césaire, and Neruda. I study the interaction of literature and development, especially in the Americas, during the 20th century. I have written poetry all my life, but published very little. My involvement with immigrant cultures in New York has led me to work with ID Studio Theater Performance and Research Center in the South Bronx, adapting and translating new plays. In 1983, I married the writer Ved Mehta, and have two children and three grandchildren. I lived with Campa Indians in the high jungle of the Peruvian Amazon. Working across cultures and languages has always fascinated me. I am committed to fairness, compassion, justice. I sing; I ride; I run across fields.

Estudio la interacción de la literatura y el desarrollo, particularmente en América durante el siglo XX. He escrito poesía toda mi vida pero he publicado poco. Mi relación con las culturas migrantes de Nueva York me ha llevado a trabajar con el ID Studio Theater Performance and Research Center en el South Bronx, adaptando y traduciendo nuevas obras de teatro. En 1983 me casé con el escritor Ved Mehta; tenemos dos hijos y tres nietos. Viví con los Asháninka en la selva del Amazonas peruviano. Trabajar a través de culturas y lenguas siempre me ha fascinado. Estoy comprometida con la justicia y la compasión. Canto, monto y corro en prados.
