Article: Dan Vera reading at Iota Poetry Series 20th anniversary.
Dan Vera (born South Texas) is an American poet and editor of Cuban descent living in Washington D.C.
Career
Vera is the author of Speaking Wiri Wiri, (Red Hen Press, 2013) and The Space Between Our Danger and Delight, (Beothuk Books, 2009).
His manuscript The Guide to Imaginary Monuments was selected by Orlando Ricardo Menes for the 2012 Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize.
In 2014, he was named one of LatinoStories.com's "Top 10 'New' Latino Authors to Watch (and Read)", calling him "a talented, sophisticated poet who is a master at playing with words".
His work has appeared in Poet Lore, Beltway Poetry Quarterly, Notre Dame Review, Delaware Poetry Review, Gargoyle Magazine, Konch, and Red Wheelbarrow.
Vera's poetry blends English and Spanish. As he explains:I love the English language. And I think one of the things that I love about the English language is the permeability of English to not only accept but also struggle with the incorporation of other languages like Spanish. So when I write, I'm constantly going back and forth between these two possible ways of articulating the world around me.
Vera is poetry editor of Origins Journal and past Managing Editor of White Crane. He publishes other poets through Vrzhu Press and Souvenir Spoon Books. Vera is the co-editor, with ire'ne lara silva, of the forthcoming anthology, IMANIMAN: Poets Reflect on Transformative & Transgressive Borders Through Gloria Anzaldúa's Work, (Aunt Lute Books, 2016).
He founded Brookland Area Writers & Artists and serves on the boards of Split This Rock Poetry and Rainbow History Project. He also co-created the website D.C. Writers' Homes as part of his effort to get to know Washington D.C.:I was just really fascinated to discover that writing and writers had existed in D.C. before me. I live in the Brookland neighborhood, and was fascinated to find out that Sterling Brown lived a few blocks from me and wanted to know more about him — that kind of started a progression of interest in writers, playwrights and poets and novelists who called Washington home.
Personal life
He lives in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
