Francisco Cantero Soriano is a Ph.D. Candidate in Latin American, Iberian and Luso-Afro-Brazilian Literatures & Cultures at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. His research examines how queer bodies materialize in the poetics of Spanish Republican Exile, tracing linguistic mechanisms of ethical and political embodiment. He is preparing English versions of Agustín Gómez Arcos’s Poesías, and translates contemporary Spanish poets. He has also explored intermedial dialogue, on Leonard Cohen’s poetic affinities with Federico García Lorca, and created a ten-painting “pictorial translation” of Lorca’s Poet in New York. Founder-director of ÍMPETU, he fosters ongoing collaborations between scholarship and artistic practice.
