Biographical Statement
Joseph Ellison Brockway is a poet, translator, and Spanish professor. He holds a BA and MA in Spanish and a PhD in Studies of Literature and Translation through The University of Texas at Dallas. He has translated poems from Las mujeres no hablan así [That’s Not How Women Talk] by Puerto Rican poet Nemir Matos-Cintrón, and he translated Isla cofre mítico [Island Mythical Coffer] by Spanish surrealist Eugenio Fernández Granell as part of his doctoral dissertation. In poetry, Joseph likes to juxtapose words and signs to disrupt the language on the page and to disturb the reader’s thoughts. Many of his poems also experiment with ideas and images that explore the human psyche and existence.
