Honora Spicer (she/her, Cambridge, MA, 1992) is a writer and experiential educator interested in place-based practices of public humanities. Her essays, documentary poetry and literary translations from Spanish have appeared in the Boston Review, The Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-day, Tripwire, Asymptote, Latin American Literature Today, World Literature Today, Action Books, and elsewhere. Architectures of Disappearance, her Commentary in Jacket2, features poetic work that responds to geographic and linguistic architectures of movement constriction. Her current book project, POST BOND, is an excavation of ongoing United States empire in one section of land in El Paso, TX between 1845 and 1967. Through a spatial analysis of proximate federal institutions and following routes of transportation, capital, and language, the study follows intersecting historical roles of the postal service, customs enforcement, immigration enforcement and NASA in transforming space into frontier, port, and prison, and incorporates historical research, essay, and documentary poetry. She has translated the work of Peruvian poets Victoria Guerrero, Tilsa Otta and Teresa Cabrera. She lives in Providence, RI, where she is part of the leadership of Cardboard House Press and des/centro de poesía. (www.honoraspicer.com)
