Likely to be heard from on this visit are poems from a forthcoming (2011) collection, The Trouble Ball. A new collection of essays, The Lover of a Subversive is also a Subversive (University of Michigan Press), is also due out later this year. He has received numerous other awards and honors, including the Robert Creeley Award, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Literary Award, the Premo Fronterizo, and NEA, PEN/Revson, and Guggenheim fellowships. A onetime tenant lawyer, Martín Espada now teaches creative writing and the poetry of Pablo Neruda at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Free admission.
