I am a Spanish teacher at the Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School in Devens, Massachusetts. (previously, I was an English teacher at the Moses Brown School in Providence R.I). I studied Comparative Literature at Brown University, focusing on Spanish Literature, and wrote a translation of a body of Luis Cernuda's poetry for my honors thesis. While at Brown, I worked for the Women Writers Project, where stories are still told about me. My interests include Formalism, Computer generated poetry, Spanish literature, music and the free software community. I occasionally copy edit and wikify, and have contributed mostly in pages related to literature, poetry and poetics.

I'm also a programmer and the developer of a couple of gnu/linux applications: http://grecipe-manager.sf.net - Gourmet Recipe Manager http://gnome-sudoku.sf.net - GNOME Sudoku

 * Luis Cernuda
 * Miguel Hernandez
 * Cesar Vallejo
 * Nella Larsen (which was a featured article!)
 * Synecdoche
 * Catachresis
 * Metalepsis
 * Symbolism, off the most wanted list

I've also added a good bit to
